AXA receives 
national awards 
at convention 

by Tracey Miller 

The Millsaps chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha 
this summer received one of five national Lambda 
Chi Alpha "Phoenix Awards," the highest award 
given by Lambda Chi National, according to 
Stephen Bush, Lambda Chi Alpha Vice President. 

The chapter also received the Outstanding 
Academics Award, Bush said, an award given 

to the one of 230 national chapters with the 
highest overall grade point average. The Lambda 
Chi Alpha's had a cumulative GPA of 3.14, 
he said. 

The awards were given at the Lambda Chi 
Alpha 75th Anniversary General Assembly in 
lew Orleans. The convention is held every 
years and each chapter sends a delagate 

voting purposes, while other members may 
attend workshops and other fraternity functions, 
said Pat Dougherty, Secretary. This year Presi- 
dent Ralph Kaiser, Vice President Stephen Bush, 
Rush Chairman Pat Gregory and Secretary 
Pat Dougherty attended the convention with 
1200 national Lambda Chi Alpha active members. 
Kevin O'Malley attended as an alumnus. 

Lambda Chi Alpha National is the third largest 
fraternity in the fraternal system in number 
of chapters, number of initiates and rate of 
growth over the past 25 years, Bush said.

in front of them is 
sitting in their lap. 
After the team compe- 
tition, which is judged 
by which team can 
get seated in the short- 
est amount of time, 
Pigott says there will 
be a campus-wide 
lap sit. Here, everyone 
on all the teams will 



try to successfully 
complete a lap sit. 

There will be 12 
teams with approxi- 
mately 40 people on 
each team. Each team 
will also involve two 
team captains and 
one faculty or staff 
member. 

The idea for a 
campus-wide games 
day originated when, 



in looking at other 
colleges, Floy Holloman 
and Bill Franklin 
wondered why Millsaps 
didn't have a Derby 
Day. 

Pigott said there 
will be a table set 
up in the student union 
during lunch Wednesday, 
Sept. 3 for those who 
didn't get to sign up 
during registration.

Let us know 

what you're 
doing 

by Tracey R. Miller 



Now that things seem to be settling 
in around Millsaps Campus and the Purple 
and White will begin its weekly publications, 
I think I should take this opportunity 
to introduce the ways in which we handle 
things in order to get the paper out in 
the best possible manner each week. 

First of all, we do try to cover as much 
as we possibly can that would be of interest 
to the students and Millsaps community. 
We cannot, however, read minds. If you've 
got something going on or just some 



information about your group that we 
should know, let us know because we 
do miss some things. 

On the same line, our photographers 
try to get the best representation possible 
of events or just of individuals on campus. 
We select photographs for the paper 
on the basis of quality and representation 
of the event, nothing else. 

Letters to the editor are strongly encour- 
aged. We prefer brief, to the point letters 
that best express your feelings, good 
or bad, about campus situations. Space 
permitting, we can print longer letters 
or editorial commentaries. All letters 
must be signed by the author and a phone 
number must be included. Anonymous 
letters must be presented by the author 
to a member of the Purple and White 
staff in order to be considered. 

Campus advertising is also strongly 
encouraged. All campus groups get a 
50 percent discount on ads providing 
that they pay before publication. We 
can do almost anything with an ad, given 
enough time. 



Also, anyone is welcome to see the 
paper in production. Most work is done 
on the weekends and on Monday afternoon 
and night. Your suggestions as to how 
we do things are certainly welcome. 

Finally, please remember that this 
is a small college and earth-shattering 
news is not a daily occurrence. You have 
to let us know what you want to see 
in the Purple and White and we'll try 
to accommodate you in the best way 
we know how. You have all of the opportun- 
ity we can afford you for input — in the 
form of letters, an open staff room, 
open staff meetings, and even serving 
on the staff in some capacity. We need 
your help to get through the remaining 
eleven issues this semester, so let us 
hear from you!

MAILBOX 



Dear Editor, 

While attending 
Opening Convocation 
last Thursday* I was 
inspired by the pageantry 
and tradition that 
marked the opening 
of the academic year. 



I was not at all inspired, 
however, by the 
chauvanistic attitude 
that seemed to permeate 
the ceremony. 

There were two 
things in particular 
that disturbed me. 
First, there was the 
blatant error in the 



words to our Alma 
Mater printed in the 
program. I understood 
that the line "Alma 
Mater, dear old Millsaps, 
loyal sons are we" 
was changed several 
years ago to "loyal 
ones are we" in order 
to include those of 




us who would like 
to be loyal, but whose 
gender does not permit 
us to be sons. 

Second, SBA President 
John Pigott spoke 
briefly at the ceremony 
and praised the men 
who had provided 
leadership at Millsaps 
over the years. Hey 
John, what about the 
women leaders? 

Now, don't get me 
wrong. I realize that 
there was not a conspir- 
acy between John 
and the typist of the 
programs to use Opening 
Convocation to express 
chauvanistic attitudes. 
I am sure that both 
things cited above 
were unintentional, 
mere oversights. But 
that is precisely the 
point. It is just that 
casual and non-chalant 
attitude toward women's 
achievement and the 
progress that has been 
made toward equality 
that is most threaten- 
ing. Blatant discrimina- 
tion can sometimes 
be dealt with more 
easily than the kind 
of discrimination that 



easily than the kind 
of discrimination that 
creeps into everyday 
life, slowly eroding 
any progress that 
has been made. One 
word in a song sung 
only at Millsaps College 
on special occasions 
may seem like a small 
matter in the scheme 
of things, but it repre- 
sents much more than 
many people realize. 

Some traditions, 
like Opening Convoca- 
tion, should be continu- 
ed; other "traditions," 
like chauvanism, should 
be replaced and guarded 
against by strong convic- 
tion that is not diminish- 
ed by time. Opening 
Convocation was, 
for the most part, 
a ceremony combining 
tradition of the past 
with the promise of 
the future. This year, 
let's not forget that 
progress that has been 
made in the past and 
encompass it with 
the promise of that 
future. 

Sincerely, 
Lida Burris

Museum's role explored 



by Jo Watson 



The role of the muse- 
um in the life of the 
state of Mississippi 
will be explored in 
this week's Friday 
Forum. 

The Friday Forum 
series features lectures, 
presentations and 
debates on topics 
of interest to the 
Millsaps community 
and general public 
each week at 12:30 
p.m. in Academic 
Complex 215. Each 
program, unless other- 
wise specified in the 
brochure, will last 
one hour. 

The Friday Forum 
series cosponsored 
with the Student Body 
Association the jazz 
band who played in 
the bowl last Friday 
to kick off the 
semester's series. 

This week's speaker, 
Dr. Norman McCrum- 
men, is the director 
of the Mississippi 
Museum of Art. His 



experience has well 
acquainted him with 
the role of the museum, 
in Mississippi life. 
He came to the museum 
in May from the Univer- 
sity of Mississippi 
where he had been 
Director of Corporate 
and Foundation gifts 
and one of the organizers 
of the campaign for 
Ole Miss, according 
to Dr. Reiff, faculty 
chairman of the Public 
Events committee, 
which is responsible 
for planning the Friday 
Forum series. 

For four and one-half 
years he served as 
assistant to the president 
and director of college 
relations at Belhaven 
College. 

Born and educated 
in Alabama, McCrummen 
went abroad to further 
his education and 
was appointed as Fellow 
of the American Univer- 
sity in Cairo, Egypt. 
From Egypt, he went 
to Paris where he 
worked with UNESCO. 
McCrummen's involve- 



ment in Mississippi 
life has been full for 
one who has been 
here a relatively short 
time, according to 
Reiff-he's been a mem- 
ber of the Downtown 
Rotary Club, a past 
president of the 
Caledonian Society 
and is vice president 
of the English Speaking 
Union. 

In 1980 McCrummen 
was one of thirty chosen 
by the Mississippi 
Economic Council 
to serve on the Leader- 
ship Mississippi Board-a 
group chosen yearly 
in recognition of their 
leadership in the state. 

Programs for the 
rest of the semester 
will include presenta- 
tions on the depletion 
of oil resources, public 
education, an election 
forecast by Millsaps 
professor John Quincy 
Adams, and "Images 
of Madness "-a presenta- 
tion which explores 
the treatment of mental 
illness in art.

Campus parking a problem, again 



by Tracey Miller 

With the increased 
number of students 
and, therefore, the 
number of automobiles 
on campus this year, 
something valuable 
that has not increased 
is the number of parking 
spaces. The inevitable 



parking problems occur 
during the day when 
commuter students 
and faculty and staff, 
in addition to the 
resident students, 
are all in need of parking 
spaces, said Wayne 
Miller, Director of 
Campus Security. 

Statistics from the 
spring of 1984 indicate 
that there were at 



the 



Purple & White 

is organizing 



3 p.m. today 
upstairs in the Union 



that time 1282 register- 
ed vehicles on campus 
belonging to these 
various groups and 
only 852 parking spaces. 
The number of parking 
spaces has not increased 
this fall, even though 
the number of students 
has gone up considerably, 
said Nancy Moore, 
Assistant Dean of 
Student Affairs. 

Miller said the parking 
problem has been 
building for the past 
two to three years 
but is greater this 
year. He said there 
are two alternatives 
to solve the problem, 
one being to build 
a new lot at a cost 
of $50,000 to $100,000 
for a 50 to 100-space 
lot. Miller said that 
since the problem 
is worse on the north 
side of campus that 
the lot would probably 
be located somewhere 
north or east of the 
tennis courts. "The 
problem is made more 
acute by the fact 



that guys drive up 
here to class or to 
eat," Miller said. 

The second alternative 
is to limit the number 
of cars on campus, 
he said. This could 
be done in many 
different ways, he 
said, but since it would 
affect recruitment, 
convenience and working 
students the trend 
for a solution is leaning 
toward a new parking 
lot at this point. That 
decision would be 
made by the office 
of the president of 
the college, said Miller. 
He said he hopes there 
can be some improve- 
ment by the spring. 

Miller said that 
security is aware of 
the problem an is 
attempting to do some- 
thing about it. One 
improvement is in 
the area outside Sanders 
and Bacot dorms where 
that upper no-parking 
zone section has been 
changed into a 15-minute 
loading or pickup zone 



in order to relieve 
congestion that may 
build in that area 
at night or on weekends. 

Miller said also 
that students should 
be aware of the fact 
that vehicle registration 
is not purchasing a 
parking space, but 
rather is the extension 
of the privilege of 
bringing a car on camp- 
us. He said that "no 
one is guaranteed 
a parking space" and 
that the traffic rules 
on campus would be 
enforced as usual. 

Suggestions for 
students trying to 
park on campus during 
the day include arriving 
early, parking behind 
the Christian Center 
on faculty row in the 
gravel area, in the 
small lot in front of 
the dean's house by 
Sullivan-Harrell, or 
along the maintenance 
area behind the student 
union and along the 
football field, Miller 
said.

Soccer season looks 
promising for team 



by Mark Ricketts 

The upcoming 1984 
soccer season looks 
extremely bright for 
the Millsaps Majors' 
soccer team. The 
Majors lost only captain 
Alan Vestal from last 
year's 12 and 7 squad. 
Vestal's starting spot 
will be filled by fresh- 
man Michael Morlan. 
Among the 10 starters 
returning for Millsaps 

are their two leading 
scorers, Sean Peenstra 
(22 points) and E.J. 
Croal (14 points). 
The captains for the 
1984 team are Robbie 
Muth and B.A. Holman. 

Coach George Gober 
has changed the Majors \ 
from the traditional j 
4-3-3 alignment to 
the 4-4-2 alignment. 
The change will allow 
Millsaps to take advan- 
tage of its abundance 
of skilled players. 
By adding a fourth 
midfielder, the Majors 

will strengthen its 
defense while adding 
explosiveness to its 
offense. The explosive 
offensive attack has 



been evident in the 
Majors' two scrimmages. 
The Majors trounced 
Hinds five to zero 
and tied USM two 
to two. The Majors 

open their season 
with a 1p.m. home 
game against Rhodes 
College (formerly 
Southwestern at Mem- 
phis) on Sunday, Sept. 
9. Millsaps will try 
to avenge last year's 
two to one defeat 
to Rhodes College.

Housing problem eases as 
emester progresses 



by Tracey Miller 



Despite early worries by upperclass- 
men and college administration 
aver housing spaces on campus, 
le situation has finally eased and 
all but two freshmen women have 
received Millsaps housing this fall, 
according to Nancy Moore, Assistant 
Dean of Student Affairs. 

Moore said that originally a waiting 
list of 25 upperclass women existed 
but that those students have now 
received Millsaps housing. 

Over the summer approximately 
26 additional housing spaces were 
created from nine Bacot lobbettes, 
the Bacot study room, four Franklin 
ironing rooms and the Sanders former 
;sident director's apartment, Moore 
lid. Additional spaces were made 
also by placing 24 students as room- 
mates to the dormitory resident 
assistants. 

Dean Stuart Good said, "We recog- 
nize the need for housing" and that 
there "has been some discussion 
for building an additional housing 
unit in the southeast section of 



the campus." 

The increase in the demand for 
housing lies in the freshman class, 
as this year Bacot hall has an entire 
floor of freshmen women and Galloway 
is housing six freshmen men, Moore 
said. Although the women's side 
of campus remains filled to capacity, 
there are six vacancies in Galloway 
men's hall and three in Ezelle men's 
hall, said Moore. 

The apparent ease in men's housing 
is due to the fact that many men 
students have chosen to live off 
campus, said Moore, while fraternity 
housing also lends some slack to 
the situation. 

For the first time at Millsaps 
College a cap was placed on enroll- 
ment for this fall and that cap acted 
as a stop on housing availability 
also, Moore said. She said that class- 
room space availability was the 
criteria by which the number of 
admitted students is determined 
and not the number of housing spaces. 
Every admitted student is made 
to understand that housing on campus 
is not guaranteed, Moore said.

Chicago XVIII-8 
First Offense-6 



by Blake Smith 



While Chicago burns up the charts with their 
latest album "Chicago XVII," Corey Hart must 
shade his eyes from the flames (or maybe the 
shame), as his "First Offense", like so many 
other "first albums," is definitely a one-hit 
album. 

Two other songs from "First Offense" besides 
"Sunglasses at Night" carry some potential, 
those being "She Got the Radio" and "Jenny 
Fey." The intrumentation overrides the lyrics, 
perhaps due to Eric Clapton's appearance on 
guitar. Corey's singing voice, however, is also 
better than the songs he is performing, at least 
on this album. His next album might sell faster 
if he sang someone else's songs (perhaps Eric 
Clapton's). His "Second Offense" will have to 
be more offensive before I would buy it. 

In contrast to Hart's release, the seventeenth 
Chicago album has both great intrumentation 
(which is no surprise) and thought-provoking 
lyrics. You will fall in love with the slow songs 
while the up-beat songs gradually work their 
way into your liking. It is, however, a good 
bit like their last album and there are a few 
not-so-great songs, but not enough to tarnish 
the album as a whole.

WHAT EVERY STUDENT 
SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES 
BETWEEN LEASING A TELEPHONE AND 

LEASING A CHICKEN. 




Yes, there are differences 
And we think you should 
know what they are. 
Ask yourself these 
questions. 

WHEN YOU LEASE A 
CHICKEN, DO YOU 
GET THREE MONTHS 
FREE DURING 
THE SUMMER? 
Probably not. But when 
you lease your telephone 
from AT&T this fall, you won't 
pay any lease charges next summer. 
You can use your phone at home, and 
bring it back to school in the fall. 

DO LEASED CHICKENS COME IN A 
SELECTION OF COLORS AND STYLES? 

No. Chickens don't come in many colors 
But the AT&T telephone you lease 
this fall comes in a variety of 
colors and three popular styles 

ARE LEASED CHICKENS 
REPAIRED FREE? 

Don't kid yourself. Repairing a chicken is a delicate 
process that requires the work of expensive professionals 
However, in the off chance your AT&T leased telephone 




needs repairs, we'll fix it absolutely free when you visit any 
of our AT&T Phone Centers. 



Jackson Downtown 
410 E.Capitol Street 



ARE LEASED CHICKENS 
SHIPPED DIRECTLY 
TO YOU? 

Ship a chicken? Don't be 
silly. However, your AT&T 
leased telephone will be 
shipped directly to you after 
one call to 1-800-555-8111, 
or you can pick up your 
phone at any of our AT&T 
Phone Centers. 

ONE FINAL QUESTION: DOES 
IT COST THE SAME TO LEASE 
A CHICKEN AS TO LEASE A 
TELEPHONE THIS FALL? 

Hardly. While we have no hard data 
on the exact cost of leasing a chicken, 
we can tell you with some certainty that 
the cost of leasing a telephone this fall 
is far less than you might think. 
The decision to lease a chicken or a 
telephone, of course, rests with you. 
But should you opt for the tele- 
phone, remember: you get three 
months free next summer, and you can take 
the phone home with you. There's a choice 
of colors and styles, free repair, and 
we'll ship you the phone or you can pick 
it up at any of our AT&T Phone Centers. 

It doesn't cost much either. And 
that's something to crow about. 

AT&T Consumer Sales and 
Service. To order your telephone, call 
1-800-555-8111 for delivery right 
to your door or for information concern- 
ing AT&T Phone Center locations.

by Ida Burg 



Elections for the 
1984-1985 student 
senate are being held 
today in the student 
union from ll-6p.m., 
said Mac Bailey, Second 
Vice President in charge 
of elections. Each 
student will vote for 
the number of senator 
spaces available in 
each district and for 
the number available 
campus wide. 

The general campus 
wide candidates from 
which 10 senators 
will be elected are 
Boyd Campbell, Louise 
Jackson, Arch Bullard, 
Ned French, Bill Cheney, 
Perry Key, Mark Leger, 
Richard Harb. 

Also running form 
campus wide district 
are Jo Watson, Debbie 
Jordan, Jim Boswell, 
Danny Donovan, Bill 
Carr, Tom Potter, 
Nick Verde, Roy Murrell 
and Gail Martin. 

Off campus candidates 
are Thomas E. Powell, 
Bernard Wolfe, Rhonda 
Cooper, Ed Hutchinson, 



Bill Baine, Bill Lang 
and Patrick Patrick^ 

Also running for 
the nine spots from 
off campus are John 
Saye, Laurence Lyons, 
Whit McKinley, Chris 
Cheek, Elton Buras , 
Al Valenzuela and 
Lee . Thornton. 

Running to fill the 
two senate spots from 
Franklin dorm are 
Stephanie Holmes, 
Julie Colbert, Stephanie 
Sonnier, Leslie Petros, 
Denise Wyant and 
Andrea Pritchett. 

From Ezelle, seeking 
the two spots, are 
Kenneth J. Carpenter, 
John Roberts, David 
Setzer, Mike Bacile, 
Steve Anderson, Wayne 
Pratt, Rob McKnight 
and Stephen Holliday. 

Running for the 
three spots available 
from Bacot Hall are 
Fonda Hughes, Cecile 
Williams, Laurie Pruitt, 
Laura Barrett, Wardeen 
Dodd, Courtney Egan, 
Charlotte Hayes, Ann 
Clinton Bridges and 
Susan Van Cleve. 

Debbie Fischer is 
running unopposed 



for the one Sanders 
senate position. 

The candidates from 
Galloway Hall are 
Brent Alexander, Kevin 
Russell, Tom Carey, 
Alexander J. Simpson, 
HI and Scott Drawe. 

They will be seeking 
two spots in senate. 

Dek Terrell and 
Ralph Kaiser are running 
for one senatorial 
spot on fraternity 
row. 

Bailey said that 
no run off election 
will be held, thus winners, 
will be determinec 
by those candidates 
who receive the top 
number of votes. The 

list of senators elected 
will be posted in the 
union tomorrow. 

Bailey said that 
since the senate has 
not yet been established, 
each candidate was 
required to provide 
one poll worker to 
assist the election 
committee. Failure 
to provide a poll worker 
could result in disqualifi- 
cation of any candidate. 



More dorm rooms mean less study area 



by Tracey Miller 



Last week's issue of the 
Purple and White reported i 
that the problem of dormitory , 
housing has eased off thisj 
semester due to the many 

extra dorm spaces made availa- 
ble from study rooms, lobbettes, 
etc. One problem that is being 
talked about on campus that 
has arisen from this "creation" 
of dorm space from study 
areas is the apparent lack 
of study space on campus, 
one Omicron Delta Kappa 
member reported. 

Dean Stuart Good said that 
he "can't offer any suggestions 
as to where it [extra study 
space] could be this semester," 



but also suggested that a new 
grill plan that would lengthen 
the operation of grill hours 
to past library hours is being 
prepared. 

Good said that the grill 
plan involves reconstructing 
part of the grill to include 
a new entrance and new food 
vending machines for late-night 
use, along with iron gates 
to shut off the grill cooking 
area. He said a contractor 
will be on campus later today 
with a set of plans to meet 

with Good, Chris Cheek, 
chairman of the Food Service 
Committee and John Pigott, 
President of the Student Body 
Association. "Until we see 
what the contractor brings," 
he said, "we don't know [what 



will be done]." 

Good said he hopes that 
a "new generation of students 
will make use of it [the grill 
space]." 

Three weeks will be needed 
to renovate the grill, Good 
said. Because of the 

inconvenience to people who 
use the grill during the day, 
the renovations will not be 
done until Christmas break, 
he said. 

Others on campus also 
expressed concern over the 
matter of campus study space. 
Dr. Frank Laney said that 
he feels there is a need for 
something of this kind, especially 
with these new freshmen. 
"The administration is just 



realizing what the extent 
of the need is," Laney said. 

Dean of Academic Affairs 
Robert King said that the 
grill plan is the "most immediate 
response" to the problem. 
"I am pleased that we have 
so many students here," King 
said. "We couldn't tell last 
semester what we would have 
here until the enrollment figures 
came out this semester," he 
said. 

King said that he felt the 
renovations in the union are 
the best way of giving students 
an informal meeting area, 
but "unfortunately it would 
be Christmas break [before

OPINION 

Fallout '84 
a success 

by Tracey Miller 

There are few occasions for which 
the Millsaps student body will forget 
which campus groups they belong to 
or affiliate with or for which the Millsaps 
faculty members and staff will get out 
and get involved with the students. In 
the past, the Elizabethan Faire provided 
an outlet for students and faculty and 
staff to mix and mingle, but it has not 
been held in a couple of years. In lieu 
of that event, the Millsaps Student Body 
Association sponsored "Fallout '84," 
last Friday's day of games, fun, food 
and music that turned into one of the 
best days of "good, clean fun" that Millsaps 
has had in a long time. 

This summer I sat in on the planning 
session for the event. The original idea 



was for a simple marathon of things 
Millsaps students do during a typical 
week (such as going to CS's or making 
copies in the library). That idea belonged 
to John Pigott, SB A President, and was 
presented to a group of students, faculty 
and adminitration, who developed the 
idea into the event that went off last 
Friday — Fallout '84 (the name was original- 
ly mentioned as a joke). 

The teams organized at 1:30p.m., and 
since all 12 teams were missing members, 
the games were begun at 2:15 with a 
total of six color/numbered teams. At 
4:30, the cafeteria opened with 750 pounds 
of boiled shrimp (including that bunch 
that was rotten and nevertheless not 
served to cafe patrons), and all of those 
participating in the feast were allowed 
as much food and they wanted. Just 
as the food became available, Eddie 
Rasberrie's Band began playing blues 
in the bowl, and many students hung 
around until the band packed up at 7:15p.m. 

Many students were responsible and 
deserve credit for their parts in Friday's 
event. Congratulations for a job well 
done go out to Nan Williams for the 
band, Teresa Bingham for publicity, 
the many team captains who organized 
the students and gave so much of their 
time in meetings during the week that 
led up to Fallout, the cafe bunch for 



changing steak night to shrimp feast 
for the event, Bill Lang for designing 
the tee shirts, Mac Bailey, Jamie Noble 
and Wayne Miller for acquisition of materi- 
als used, Wayne Miller for security, Donald 
Brooks for referees, George Gober for 
volleyball setups, Tereau Pearson for 
the pep rally and the Jackson area YMCA 
for the ever-popular earth ball. 

Finally, special thanks go to Madolyn 
Robuck for coordination of the games 
in the bowl and for serving as co-chairman 
of the event with John Pigott, who de- 
serves much credit for the original concept 
of Fallout '84. 

The subject of much criticism, John 
Pigott showed the students with the 
Fallout where many, if not all, of his 
concerns lie— in raising student spirit. 
Friday's activities brought together many 
Millsaps students for the express purpose 
of building school spirit and uniting the 
Millsaps community as close to the begin- 
ning of the school year as possible. 

I hope that in the remainder of his 
term J ohn Pigott can continue to serve 
the students in the manner he has done 
so far this semester. Fallout '84 is probably 
going to be an annual tradition, and its 
organization will be a hard act to follow. 
Pigott now has a first-class event to 
put down on his list of accomplishments 
as president of the student body.

PARKING PROBLEM 

Lear Editor, 

Millsaps has a growing 
problem that I would 



like to address. The 
situation, which is 
an old one, is the 
aggravation of parking 
on campus (actually 



it is the challenge 
of trying to park on 
campus). This is strictly 
from the view of a 
dorm-residing female, 



so I'm not going to 
attempt to speak for 
the males on campus. 
Frankly, the situation 
is ridiculous and almost 
embarrassing that 
nothing has been done 
to alleviate the tension. 
One important fact 

cont. on p.8 

FALLOUT 

Dear Fellow Students: 

Let me take this 
opportunity to thank 
the people who helped 
make last Friday's 
Fallout program a 
success. Team captains 
and officials performed 
outstandingly with 
little more than a 
moment's notice. Events 
such as this do not 
prove successful without 
much planning and 
work, and all the faculty 
and administrative 
personnel and students 
who took the time 
required deserve a 
round of applause. 
Finally, the cafeteria, 



who picked up the 
entire bill for 750 
pounds of shrimp, 
deserves great apprecia- 
tion. This initial success 
will guarantee that 
Fallout will become 
an annual, and possibly 
semi-annual event. 

The SBA's next project 
is to register the Mill- 
saps campus to vote 
in the upcoming 

Presidential and 

Senatorial elections. 

We will be coordinating 

a system of absentee 
registration and voting 

on campus. To heighten 
political interest, 
the SBA will be sponsor- 
ing forums with Senator 
Cochran and former 
Governor Winter during 
October. 

This week, the Student 
Senate is being elected 
and organized for 
its first weekly meeting 
next Monday night.

Energy outlook discussed 



by Jo Watson 



The sudden increase 
in oil prices caused 
by the OPEC embargo 
the 70's sharply 
focused world attention 
our precarious 
energy situation. Since 
then, new attention 
has been paid to the 
search for untapped 
reserves of oil and 
other energy sources. 
This topic"The World 
rgy Outlook"-will 
addressed in this 
;k's Friday Forum 
by Dr. George Vockroth, 



an independent petrole- 
um geologist practicing 
in the Jackson area. 

Sponsored by the 
Millsaps geology depart- 
ment, the program 
will explore world 
energy supplies and 
future trends in energy 
development. 

A member of the 
Mississippi Geological 
Society, Dr. Vockroth 
has served as an adjunct 
professor of petroleum 
geology for two years 
at Millsaps, according 
to Professor Johnson 
of the Millsaps geology 
department. 



Dr. Vockroth holds 
a graduate degree 
in geology from Harvard 
University. He has 
been a member of 
the American 
Association of Petroleum 
Geologists since 1951. 

The forum will last 
from 12:30 to 1:30 
p.m. Friday in Academic 
Complex Z15. 

The Public Events 
Committee welcomes 
any comments or 
suggestions on the 
Friday Forum series.

any ways to be involved on campus 



by Tracey Miller 



Several freshmen and others 
on campus have requested 
some information on the various 
groups and organizations at 
Millsaps. Following is a reprint 
of an activities section that 
we ran last year in hopes that 
new and returning students 
would explore the opportunities 
at Millsaps and get involved. 



The ENGLISH CLUB provides 
an outlet for those students 
interested in English. The 
club sponsors activities such 
as Friday Forums and hosts 
guest speakers throughout 
the year. 



The TROUBADOURS is a 

show choir of twelve voices 

selected from the Singers. 

The Troubadours perform 

at church gatherings, banquets, 

high schools and serve as a 

public relations arm for the 

college. 



The CAMPUS MINISTRY TEAM 

is a group of 30 carefully selected 
students responsible for planning 
and coordinating the campus 
ministry at Millsaps. Its work 
centers around weekly meeting* 
where business is conducted 
and discussion of various issues 
cue held and on four committees: 
the Chapel Committee, the 
Human Rights Committee, 
the Special Ministries Committee 
and the Voluntary Service 
Committee. The team welcomes 
anyone to become a member 
of a committee. 



DEUTSCHER VEREIN is an 

informal club open to all students 
interested in the German culture, 
language or in German foods 
and activities. The group 
holds several group discussions 
during the year and also spon- 
sors Christmas parties and 
film showings. 



The JUDICIAL COUNCIL 

represents the judiciary branch 
of the Student Association. 
Its responsibility is for most 
student disciplinary cases 
and its membership consists 
of two faculty members, one 
administrative staff person* 
and five students from which 
a chairman is elected. 



Student government at Millsaps 
is composed of the STUDENT 
EXECUTIVE BOARD and the 
STUDENT SENATE. It strives 
to make improvements in 
the system at Millsaps where 
students are involved. Student 
Senate elections are being 
held today and the senate 
will meet regularly beginning 
next week. One major event 
sponsored by student government, 
in addition to Friday's Fallout 
'84, is the Student Symposium, 
scheduled for Nov. 7. 



The INTERFRATERNITY 
COUNCIL organizes fraternity 
rush. The council also strives 
to provide a unified factor 
for the fraternities on Millsaps 
campus. 




The annual student publication 
of Millaps Collge, the BOBASHE- 
LA, gives a comprehensive 
view of campus life. Work 
for the Bobashela is very flexible 
and positions are currently 
open for section editors and 
for various large and small 
jobs. Bobashela is an Indian 
name meaning "good friend." 



The BLACK STUDENT ASSOCIATION 

works toward the creation 
of an organization that will 
encompass all black students 
at Millsaps, whether they 
are on or off-campus residents, 
and that will encourage participa- 
tion among black students. 
A goal of BSA is to educate 
themselves and others in the 
Millsaps community as to 
the heritage of their culture 
and to be educated themselves 
in the cultures of others. 



The PURPLE AND WHITE 

is the student-edited newspaper 
of Millsaps College. The newspaper 
staff publishes 1Z eight-page 
issues a semester and the 
newspaper also gives the students 
the chance to work in all areas 
of newspaper production.

New preschool program opens 



by j Johanna Burkett 



New life is stirring in the usually quiet 
asement of the student union in the 
form of children, from infants to five 
ear olds. These children are an active 
art of a new happening on campus, 
the Millsaps Pre-School Program, which 
offers daily child care services for both 
Millsaps students and faculty. 

Maud De Les Lancaster, Director of 
the Pre-School Program and a Millsaps 
graduate with a degree in education, 

aid "We're trying to meet the needs 
f the students and faculty," stressing 
the importance of the new center to 
the Millsaps community. 

The need for such a program was created 
by the closing of the Children's Center 
that was previously located just off campus 

behind the men's dorm parking area, 
she said. Lancaster emphasized, however, 
that the Millsaps Pre-School Program 
"is not a continuation" of the old Children's 
"enter. 

The Millsaps Pre-School Program has 
more to offer its patrons than a simple 
abysitting service. 

It has been arranged to give the children 
outside play time, lunch time, nap time, 
as well as a period structured for the 
"learning group," Lancaster said. This 
part of the program is designed to help 
he children in social and emotional 
interaction through activities involving 
blocks and other toys and what Lancaster 
calls "children's role-playing" in games 
acting out experiences such as home 
ife and grocery shopping. There are 
'so activities which involve the utilization 
f the language arts, math and music, 



together with usual: the alphabet, coloring 
and painting, she said. 

All of these activities, said Lancaster, 
are not only instructional, but aid in 
creating stronger self-awareness among 
the children, who are divided into groups 
by age level during the learning period. 

Many changes have been made in order 
to accomodate the new program. The 
lower level of the student union is now 
divided by walls which alot at least half 
of the area to the child care center. 
A fence has been put up just outside 
the center to give the children a safe 
area for outdoor play and a new road 
has been laid to allow easier access to 
the back of hte center itself, she said. 

The space alotted to the center is 
divided into a large area for the older 
children and a smaller enclosed area 
for the infants and toddlers who are 
generally kept separate to help in "main- 
taining order." Lancaster said she works 
primarily with the two to five year olds, 
aided usually by a work study student, 
while Edna Jones, experienced in the 
supervision of children, works with the 
infants and toddlers. 

Although there is a fair amount of 
equipment, toys and supplies, Lancaster 

said she is hoping for more to improve 
the program. Some of the present equip- 
ment was taken from the children's center 
or donated by Lancaster's family. Some 
was given by several patrons. 

The four basic services of the program 
include the learning group for children 
ages three to five; extended day care 
for children remaining after the learning 
group which ends at noon; infant and 

toddler day care, an all day program 
allowing time for learning and directed 



at Millsaps 

play and drop in service, all day care 
on an hourly basis. 

All services are available Monday 
through Friday and are offered with 
full-day, half-day or hourly rates. Millsaps 
students are given discounts. 

Play cast 
released 

by Kathleen Watson 



The Millsaps Players will open their 
sixty-first season with Gerald Hopkins 
and Carol Tyler in Tennessee Williams 
"Sweet Bird of Youth." The play will 
be presented October 10-13 in the Millsaps 
Christian Center. 

One of Williams' major works, "Sweet 
Bird of Youth" is set on the Mississippi 
gulf coast in the late 1950's and surrounds 
the lives of Princess Kosmonopolis and 
Chance Wayne. 

According to director Lance Goss, 
the production has experienced "tremen- 
dous success" in New York with Paul 
Newman and Geraldine Page and later 
with Lauren Bacall in London. "Sweet 
Bird of Youth" is still considered a very 
popular play, Goss added. 

Other cast members in the Millsaps 
production include Robert Foose, Allison 
Ourso, Mike Reins, Pieter St. Arnold, 
Kelly Hitchcock, Jay Sutterfield, Robbie 
McDonald, Wayne Small, Jill Ruemke, 
Dieleaca Seay, Donna Luther, Walt 
Johnson, Mike Howard and John Moore. 
Additional cast will be added in a few 
days.

The Millsaps Majors' soccer team opened 
their 1984 season with a hard-earned three 
to two overtime victory over arch-rival Rhodes 
College (formerly Southwestern at Memphis). 
The Majors, who finished the 1983 season with 
a flurry by winning 10 of their last 11 games, 
struggled in the early stages and were tied 
at half-time (0-0). 

The Millsaps defense, led by goalie Marion 
Lyons, kept the Majors in the game during the 
first half. In the second half, the Majors struck 
for two quick goals and a two to zero lead. 
E.J. Croal scored Millsaps' first goal on an assist 

from Sean Peenstra. Kevin Brune added the 
second Millsaps goal on a beautiful feed from 
Michael Newman. 

Rhodes College fought back to tie the game 
with a pair of goals in the closing minutes of 
the game. The game went into overtime and 
the Millsaps Majors wasted little time in deciding 
the issue. With three minutes gone in the overtime 

period, Sean Peenstra scored on a penalty kick 
to give Millsaps the victory. 

The Majors travel to Georgia to participate 
in the Emory Invitational on Sept. 15 and 16. 
Other teams entered in the tournament are 
Emory, Washington and Lee and Georgia State.

Majors defeat Eagles 17-6 



by Tom Carey 



The Millsaps Majors 
opened their 1984 
football season Saturday 
at Alumni Field with 
an impressive 17-6 
win against the Central 
Methodist Eagles. 

The game was never 
in doubt after Millsajte 

put 17 points on the 
board in the first half 
and then let their 
defense preserve the 
win. 

The Millsaps offense, 
powered by senior 
Edmund Donald's 77 

yards in 17 carries, 



put all of their points 
on the board in the 
first half. 

In the first quarter, 
a one-yard run by 
Donald and a successful 
extra point attempt 
by Shawn Gillis gave 
the Majors a 7-0 lead. 

In the opening minutes 
of the second quarter, 
Gillis hit a field goal 
to extend the lead 
to 10-0. With only 
2:36 remaining in 
the half, Sophomore 
quarterback Steve 
Fuson (who completed 
6 of 12 passes for 

67 yards in the first 
half) found David 



Cheek for another 
touchdown. Gillis 
completed the extra 
point attempt to put 
Millsaps up 17-0. 

The Majors' defense, 
brilliant throughout 
the game, held the 
Eagles to only 22 total 
yards in the first half. 

The second half, 
however, was a 
completely different 
game. CMC took the 
opening kickoff 68 
yards for a touchdown, 
but missed the extra 
point conversion, cutting

1984: A year to remember 



by Matt Kaye 



It doesn't look like 
the world is going 
to end, but strange 
things have occurred 
in the sports world 
during this, the year 
of 1984. 

I thought surely 
that the world would 
end before the Cubs 

won a pennant. Excluding 
Ryne Sandberg, Leon 
Durham and Rich 
Sutcliffe, the Cubs 
are incredibly mediocre, 
but who am I to take 
the wind out of their 
sails. I'm just a disgrunt- 
led Mets fan. 

Look at the NBA 
champion Boston Celtics. 
They were the Cubs 
in basketball uniforms 
(that is talent-wise, 

excluding Larry Bird, 
not tradition-wise. 
We all know their 
separate traditions) 
but the hey word is 
champions and they 
were. They hustled 
and scrapped proving 
that talent is not always 
superior (take note, 
Cubs fans). 

What about the 
heavyweight champion 
of the world? Who 
is the heavyweight 
champion of the world? 
It used to be that 
the champion was 
the most feared and 
respected man around. 
We had Marciano Demp- 



sey, Ali, Foreman 
and even Larry Holmes. 
Now it's guys like 
Pinklon Thomas, Tim 
Witherspoon and Gene 
Coetzee laying claim 
to that distinction. 
What's going on? 

How about tennis? 
I thought it was a 
gentleman's game. 
Anyone who listens 
closely knows that 
this stuff is rated 
at least PG-13. 

Other mysterious 
items include: A Steeler 
team without Franco 
Harris and Terry Brad- 



shaw, America's teams 
Dallas and the Braves 
crumbling, the Islanders 
without the Stanley 
Cup, the Indianapolis 
Colts, and a U.S. Open 
without Arnold Palmer. 

It has been a strange 
year to date, that's 
for sure. Who knows 
what's in store for 
us the rest of the 
year? One can only 
wonder. Thought for 
the day: I don't care 
how wild this year 
has been; all you Saints 
fans can give it up. 
It will never happen.

took over, stopping

CMC recovered the

Intra murals in 
full swing 

by Mary Kay Hall 

The first intramural meeting for the year 
was held last Tuesday, September 4 and the 
schedule for the upcoming semester was discuss- 
ed. The first sports to be played for both men 
and women will be soccer, with games starting 
the second week of September. The other major 
sport for men this semester is volleyball, and 
for women, volleyball and flag football. Also, 
golf will be played by the men as a minor sport. 
If enough interest is expressed, a Trivial Pursuit 
tournament will be planned. 

Several new issues were also discussed. The 
concept of the overall point system used in 
the past is being evaluated. George Gober, 
Intramurals director, and the Intramural Council 
have proposed the idea of having trophies for 
each sport and tournament. This would eliminate 
the two overall trophies for men and women 
that have previously been awarded yearly on 
the basis of accumulated points. Another issue 
being considered is the selection of all-stars. 
In the past, all-stars were nominated by their 
team representative and voted upon by all the 
intramural representatives for that sport. One 
participant felt that "perhaps some persons 
had no opportunity to observe the nominees 
participating in the event and thus had nothing 
concrete on which to base their voting." A 
possible solution to this problem according 
to one representative is to choose two or three 
sportsminded individuals and have them attend 
the events, then select the all-stars. These 
two changes will be discussed again and decided 
upon at the next meeting. 

Students new to Millsaps are encouraged 
to get involved in the intramural program. It 
provides a break from studying and an opportun- 
ity for friendly competition. Anyone interest- 
ed should contact George Gober, ext. 296.

he agrees that the 
library usually becomes 
more of a social area 
than a study area. 

Pigott said he origina- 
ted the grill plan idea 
for the very reason 
of more study space 
on campus. He said 
he has proposed that 
the grill remain open 
until 2a.m. The new 
renovated area will 
hopefully include, 
Pigott said, a salad 
bar, ceiling fans and 
better ventilation. 

Dean Good said 
that as an alternative 
to the library, he would 
not be opposed to

open until midnight 
if student need is 
there for it. Assistant 
Dean of Student Affairs 
Nancy Moore said

consider is that 
there are approximately 
60 more cars on campus 
than there are parking 
spaces available. Our 
school's administrators 
and staff knew of 
this problem as a 
possibility last spring 
and still there has 
been no push for new 
space. When an 
institution realizes 
that 300 plus new 
students will be riding 
onto campus, plans 
should be drawn to 
make the transition 
as comfortable as 
possible. 

Another dilemma 
that the campus faces 
every year is that 
of the many programs 
offered for special 
students: Adult Degree 
Program, Enrichment 
Program, varsity sports, 
Christian Center 
productions, Friday 
Forums, Arts and 
Lecture Series and 
Friday students. We 
regular students at 
Millsaps enjoy most 
of these programs 
ourselves, and we 
do understand the 
importance of them. 
The fact still remains 
that these programs 
greatly increase the 
lumber of registered 
id unregistered vehicles 
on campus taking 
up precious space. 
When these various 
activities are in full 
swing (sometimes 
simultaneously) Millsaps 
truly turns into a campus 
of mass confusion. 

As it stands, we 
desperately need a 
system in which we 
do not have to park 
on fraternity row 
(taking up their space) 
in order to attend 
a play at the CC. 
We need a system 
that does not have 
registered students 
parking in the PAC 
in order to get to 
the female dorms. 
The factor of safety 
for both males and 
females must be 1 
considered in this 
frustrating situation 
also. 

Whit worth Hall, 
le administrative 
auilding, has a parking . 



area that most of 
the administrators 
use with spaces left 
for others to occupy. 
Eight of these spaces 
are for visitors and 
so marked. Most 
infrequently are half 
in use at one time, 
but whenever a student 
has to park there, 
for lack of anywhere 
else to park, a ticket 
is immediately applied, 
and the circle begins 
again. In fact, most 
of the visitors on campus 
park near the student 
union or near Elsinore, 
occupying precious 
space. 

Basically, something 
has to be done before 
we register another 




freshman class at 
300 or more. Whether 
it's breaking new soil 
for parking lots or 
taking a selective 
look at who actually 
needs cars on campus, 
the problem can 
rationally be mastered.

As^ part . of his voter registration

Millsaps News Release 

Jackson, MS-Millsaps 
College's 312 new 
freshman students, 
representing a 23 
percent increase over 
last year's record 
254, has bolstered 
the institution's total 
fall 1984 enrollment 
to an all-time high 
of 1306 students. 

The 1306 total enroll- 
ment figure for 1984 
fall semester represents 
a five percent increase 
over last year's total 
of 1246 and continues 
the trend of setting 
a record high level 
each year since 1979. 

In summary: the 
1984 freshmen class 
is 67 percent larger 
than in 1979 (312 versus 
187); total enrollment 
is 42 percent greater 
than in 1979 (1306 
versus 920); and full- 
time equivalent enroll- 
ment during the same 
period has increased 
33 percent (1138 versus 
858). 

"Our enrollment 
trend is especially 
significant because 
it comes at a time 
when many other col- 
leges are posting drama- 



tic declines due to 
the dwindling number 
of 18 to 21 year olds," 
said President George 
M. Harmon. "Nationwide 
the pool of prospective 
students declined 
five percent in the 
fall of 1983, another 
five percent this fall 
and is expected to 
decline that much 
or more in the fall 
of 1985. The contrasting 
increase in Millsaps 
freshmen, and the 
overall upward trend 
in enrollment on all 
counts: new freshmen, 
total head count, and 
full-time equivalent 
students— since 1979, 
augurs well for our 
future." 

Harmon attributes 
Millsaps' success in 
attracting and holding 
students to its nationally 
recognized excellence 
in academics and to 
"the personal attention 
we give our students." 

"For example," he 
said, "in order not 
to overcrowd classrooms 
or dormitories, we 
deliberately stopped 
admitting freshmen

'84 Campaign issues discussion series begins 



by Tracey Miller 



Two Millsaps students have organized 
a series that is along the lines of many 
other "intellectual happenings" at Millsaps 
College. The series, "Issues of the '84 
Campaign," will begin this Thursday, 
Sept. 20 at 9p.m. in the Faculty House, 
said Beau Butler, senior Political Science 
major, who, along with Jim BoBo, senior 
Political Science major, originated the 
idea for the series. The series is sponsored 
by the Department of Political Science, 
Butler said, but any questions, etc., should 
be directed to Butler or Bobo. 

Butler said, "We feel like since Millsaps 
students are looked upon as the intellectual 
jlite of the state, it's up to Millsaps 
students to do something to uphold that 
iage." 



Butler said the series will include seven 
topics presented weekly up until the 
time of the presidential election. Topics 
include "Reagan, the Constitution, and 
Civil Rights" by Political Science Professor 
John Quincy Adams, "A Man without 
Compassion? Entitlement Programs 
under the Reagan Administration" by 
History Professor Robert McElvaine, 
"The Ozone and the National Parks: 
Reagan's Environmental Policies (speaker 
to be announced), "Reagan, the Russians, 
the Bomb, and You" by Beau Butler, 
"Voodoo Economics: How Has It Fared?" 
by Ed Ranck, "Fighting the Cold War: 
Reagan's Foreign Policy in Selected 
Hotspots" by Jo Watson and "Republicans, 
Democrats, and the Future of American 
Democracy" by Howard Bavender. 

Butler said they saw a "tremendous 



amount of apathy among the students 
and unused intellectual energy floating 
around in the student body" and they 
felt "like if we could set something up 
to channel the energy then students 
would respond." 

The purpose, as outlined by Butler 
and Bobo to the faculty and staff of 
the college, is to increase the awareness 
of Millsaps students with regard to vital 
issues surrounding the 1984 presidential 
campaign. 

Butler said that he and 3obo want, 
as much as possible, objective analysis. 
"We're trying to get a balanced view, 
not Republican and not Democrat," Butler 
said. He said that the atmosphere will 
be informal and students will be encourag- 
ed to participate in open discussion follow- 
ing each featured speaker.

OPINION 



Politics a new 
force on campus 

by Mac Bailey 

"Buttons, Banners, and Tee Shirts" 
advocating university football teams, 
fraternities and sororities, musical groups, 
theater productions and any other group, 
place, or issue that can be printed, stamped 
or drawn have long been commonplace 
on such a socially and academically center- 
ed campus such as Millsaps College. 

Yet recently, Alabama, "Where's the 
Beef," the Hard Rock Cafe, and West 
Side Story have been replaced by advertise- 
ments for a theme that although it exists 
continuously with frequent mild tremors; 
erupts every four years with tremendous 
force: POLITICS. 

The posters, leaflets, speakers and 
the energetic spontaneous emergence 
of the local subsidiaries of the National 
Democratic and Republican parties are 



prophetic warning signals for Millsaps 
College of the approaching 1984 Presiden- 
tial Election. The accumulative increase 
in political awareness of college and 
university students during the late 70s 
and early 80s has not only been quantita- 
tive in nature, but optimistic in attitude 
as well. The mistrust generated during 
the 60s and early 70s has been overshadow- 
ed by the reality that only positive action 
by the electorate can restore political 
credibility and the Vietnam/ Watergate 
apathy has dissipated since the majority 
of current students' main concern during 
that tumultuous period was whether 
it rained on birthdays and snowed on 
Christmas. 

The concern with political corruption 
and social injustices during the 60s and 
70s has transformed into concerns of 
job security, federal educational appropria- 
tions, foreign policy and taxation policy. 
The majority of the present younger 
generation emphasize the importance 
of issues and image projection of candi- 
dates, not basic party affiliation. However 
the scope of this editorial is not so narrow 
as to advocate or predict the dissolution 
of such organizations as the Millsaps 
College Democrats and Republicans. 
The exact contrary creates its origin. 
Such organizations are vital to the politi- 
cally active students' survival in that 
the function as sources of political infor- 



mation and enthusiasm through such 
avenues as key speakers, leaflets, posters, 
registration drives and absentee ballot 
acquisitions. The information's availabilit 
and pertinence to students' concerns 
create an atmosphere most conducive 
for the selection of this nation's highest 
political office. Whether Democrat, 

Republican or Independent, we should 
all appreciatively take advantage of 
he dedicated energies of a few. Millsaps 
as a politically active and knowlegable 
campus is a tradition well worth maintain- 
ing.

Student concerns a need for forum series 



by Tracey Miller 

Last week the Fall 
1984 Friday Forum 
Series brochures were 
made available around 



campus. As I studied 
the topics, I found 
that many probably 
will not appeal to 
the students on campus. 

I realize that the 
Public Events Commit- 



tee is composed of 
faculty and students 
with a student chairman, 
but I feel that the 
faculty members of 
the community have 
aimed the selections

for this fall's series 
on what appeals to 
the adult members 
of the community, 
rather than on what 
appeals to the students 
on Millsaps Campus. 
I have had many students 
express the same con- 
cerns to me during 
this past week and 
would, after reading 
the brochure, have 
trouble explaining 
to freshmen the appeal 
of the program in 
the past. 

Each semester the 
Public Events Commit- 
tee solicits ideas for 
the next semester's 
Friday Forum series, 
program and speakers. 
They also try to include 
a student presentation 
each semester. These 
solicitations are beginn- 
ing this week, and 
although apathy has 
been a problem at 
Millsaps in the past, 
let me encourage 
students not to let 
this tradition interfere 



with their opportunity 
to input into this valua- 
ble program. 

Submit your ideas 
and suggestions now 

and let committee 
members know what 
interests you, the

Friday Forum 

Central America crisis explored 



by Jo Watson 



Social change in 
any context can be 
confusing and upsetting 
but when social change 
in a developing nation 
carries with it signifi- 
cant political conse- 
quences the United 
States cannot afford 
to ignore the situation. 
This week's Friday 
Forum, "The Social 
Context of Crisis 
in Central America," 
with speaker Millsaps 
sociology professor 
Francis Coker, will 
explore the process 
of this social change 
and weigh United 
States reactions. 

Coker spent six 
weeks this summer 
in Costa Rica partici- 
pating in a Fulbright- 
Hayes study project 
exploring this process 
of social change occuring 
in Costa Rica, Guata- 
mala, Honduras, El 
Salvador and Nicaragua. 



Faculty from ten south- 
eastern colleges took 
part in this study. 

The program, Coker 
said, explored factors 
contributing to the 
current crisis in these 
countries: their histories, 
inequities in the distribu- 
tion of wealth and 
power and political 
struggles. 

Academics, research- 
ers, and political repre- 
sentatives from each 
of the countries studies 
presented "a wide 
range of views" of 
the situation and the 
role that the United 
States should play, 
Coker said. 

Coker . said that 
her study of this subject 
reflects her evolving 
interest in the process 
of social change. 

"Experiencing the 
fifties as a young 
adult, a woman and 
white southerner has 
had a marked influence 
on me," she said. "As 



a result of these 
experiences, I've been 
completely fascinated 
by processes of social 
change." This expanded 
to include interest 
in developing countries 
and attempts at social 
change, she said. 

She has studied 
the transition to an 
industrial society 
in Sweden, Asian social 
change at the East-West 
Center at the University 
of Hawaii, economics 
in North Carolina, 
social psychology 
at Harvard, and urban 
problems at American 
University in Washing- 
ton. 

The program will 
last from 12:30 to 
1:30 in Academic 
Complex 215. 

The Public Events 
committee, responsible 
for planning Friday 
Forum, welcomes 
any suggestions for 
program topics or 
speakers.

CAMPAIGN '84 



REPUBLICANS 




by Tracey Miller 

As many new opinions begin to emerge on campus cc

on page two and finally, these two pages will hopefully

The opinions expressed below are those of the author, anc 



by Jim Woodrick 



The Presidential election in November 
offers the American electorate more 
than a contest between skilled politicians- 
it is an election in which the nation can 
choose between two completely different 
ideologies. As a voter, you will be able 
to choose between casting the nation 
back into the apathetic ways of the Carter- 
Mondale era, or to seek another bold, 
new direction in reviving the United 
States by re-electing President Ronald 
Reagan and Vice President Bush in 1984. 
The difference between the candidates 
and the diversity between the ideological 
backgrounds of the two major parties 
is indeed vast. 

That same diversity makes the choice 
clear. President Reagan has made great 
progress in bringing America back to 
its fullest potential. The most obvious 
improvement during the Reagan administra- 
tion has been the economic sector. The 
President's tax-cut plan to revive the 
economy has worked beyond • even the 
most optimistic projections. Real income 
is up, employment is up, consumer spending 
is up, and, best of all, the double-digit 
Carter/Mondale inflation rate is down- 
down to its lowest point in years. Industry 
has pulled itself out of the recession, 
and the market-place has responded 
with vigor. The Democratic doom-sayers 
claim that nothing this good can last 
for long, but the fact is that Americans 
are better off under Reagan/Bush. 

Not only is America back economically, 
but she is also in a stronger position 
militarily, and under Reagan the world 
can be assured that freedom will be 
defended. The threat to freedom is indeed 
ominous. Soviet sponsored agression 
has appeared in South America, Central 
America, Africa, the Middle East, the 
Caribbean, and atrocities against human 



rights continue in Southeast Asia, Afghanis- 
tan and even against the brave citizens 
of Poland. The Soviet Union has repeatedly 
refused to discuss real reductions in 
the nuclear stockpiles, and hopes for 
a return to negotiations have been dashed 
by the Soviets' unwillingness to cooperate. 

President Reagan stands for a genuine 
peace, one where America can be assured 
of its ability to defend itself around 
the the world and still make reasonable 
reductions in nuclear arms. In the search 
for alternate defense systems, Reagan 
has proposed a new national strategy 
option, the High Frontier project, which 
would employ non-nuclear GBMD I defense 
missies in space to counter any nuclear 
option the Soviets might consider in 

a first-strike. The technology is there 
to make the nuclear threat a thing of 
the past. 

Under the Reagan/Bush administration, 
enormous federal waste has been cut, 
while needed social programs have continu- 
ed to aid those who are truly in need. 
President Reagan has shown great progress 
in eliminating discrimination in government, 
and he has opened the doors of opportunity 
for all Americans. 

At Millsaps College, as it is all across 
this nation, Americans are waking up. 
The Millsaps College Republicans has 
shown a vitality which gives credence 
to the idea that the Republican Party 
is the party of the future. What college 
students can contribute to the President's 
campaign this fall is significant. Although 
our generation is politically active, many 
are not actually registered to vote, and 
in our political system that is a responsibil- 
ity that cannot be ignored. The duty 
of the Millsaps College Republicans 
is to make the Millsaps community aware 
of the importance of this election to 
the future of America, and to seek out 



those unregistered voters who have not 
become involved in the political process. 

We are America's hope in the years 
to come, and that hope can continue 
to grow with the re-election in November 
of one of the most popular presidents 
in history. Our generation can insure 
the nation's survival as the leader of 
the free world. Join the Future. Join 
the College Republicans.

DEMOCRATS 




by Edward R. Hutchinson 



The Democratic Party believes ..nat 
humanity can be altered and reshaped 
to bring about a more righteous, just, 
and generous society. 

The Democratic Party believes in 
the themes of civil and human rights 
and the humanity of all men and women. 
We believe that within mankind (and, 
of course, womankind) are the highest 



k9 




terras 

Ties "•'M js£ 



and noblest ideas. We believe in aiding 
our fellow man so that he can attain 
his greatest potential. We believe that 
the mentally retarded, the aged, the 
poor, and all those handicapped by both 
nature and society should be given the 
chance to fulfill their potential as useful 
and happy members of society. We don't 
want them to be shun .ed ^. - off to 
a nursing home, to a ghetto, or otherwise 
denied the freedom to attain their indivi- 
dual greatness. We believe that human- 
ities' answer to the injustices of nature 
and society is government. Government 
is there to insure that civil rights are 
not violated, that our air is not polluted, 
that our streets are free of criminals, 
and that the rights and privileges of 
being an American citizen are not denied 
to anyone on the basis of race, creed, 
or sex. Insuring that these rights are 
not violated is one of the greatest concerns 
of the Democratic Party. 

The Democratic Party also believes 
that the world community, and not just 
the national community, is important. 
Our country is blessed with the burden 
of a national moral consciousness. We 
realize that freedom must gird the globe 
and not just exist in our country. We 
realize that the world must be safe from 
tyranny, hatred, and injustice, before 
we can be. Civil and human rights must 
be instituted worldwide before we can 
proclaim that our freedom is secure. 
We must ascend to the moral high ground, 
we must become a moral example to 
the world. We must stress that human 
rights are inherent upon the birth or 
every human being worldwide. We must 
also remember that human rights violations 
can occur in nations friendly to us and 
not just in nations hostile to us. 

We also believe that international 
relations must be built on true under- 
standing and friendship and not in fear 



MILLSAPS COLLEGE 
DEMOCRATS 



and hate. Once this is accomplished 
America can become a truly "free" coun- 
try. Our blessed burden will then be 
eased off our backs. We will be a free 
country among freed countries. Upon 
this worldwide instituting of human and 
civil rights tha people of the world will 
become free and able to attain their 
greatest potential. 

The Democratic Party believes that 
we live in a world which can be improved 
by diplomacy, not war; that international 
relations can be improved by understand- 
ing, not hate. We also believe that true 
and lasting freedom in America can 
only occur when the world is free from 
tyranny, civil rights abuse, and hate. 
The Democratic Party will always stride 
, and work for this goal. 

To this end the Millsaps College Demo- 
crats have worked ceaselessly. One 
of the main ways to accomplish this 
lofty goal, we believe, is to elect the 
Mondale/Ferraro ticket. To aid in this 
attempt we have had Jesse Jackson speak 
here. Also, today we had John Zaccaro, 
Jr., son of Geraldine Ferraro, speak 
here. If you'believe in a goal of worldwide 
freedom based on human and civil rights 
you are urged to join the Democratic 
Party.

Trophy system to 
be used for game 
participation 



by Mary Kay Hall 



Last Tuesday, the Intramural Committee 
met and again evaluated the idea of abolishing 
the overall point system. The women representa- 
tives discussed the issue and then voted 

unanimously to replace the point system used 
in the past. Trophies will now be awarded for 
each women's sport played. The men however, 
voted unanimously to retain the old system 
and will continue to compete for the highest 
cumulative score throughout the year. The 
scores from last week's games are as follows: 

Independents defeated Master kickers, 8-1 

Independents defeated LXA, 3-0 

KA defeated KS, 3-2

Majors outmaneuver Sewanee 



by Mark Ricketts 

In one of the most 
exciting games of 
their long and intense 
rivalries, Millsaps 
defeated Sewanee 
in a 28 to 26 thriller 
at Sewanee. The Majors 
sophomore quarterback 
Steve Fuson accounted 
for three of the four 
Millsaps touchdowns, 
throwing two touchdowns 
and running for the 
other. With Sewanee 
keying on Ail-American 
Edmond Donald, Millsaps 
decided to go to the 
pass, and Fuson made 
the most of the opportu- 
nity, completing eight 
out of nine passes 
for 142 yards. Although 
he was closely watched 
most of the game, 
Donald still managed 
to gain 80 hard-earned 
yards on 21 carries 
while . catching two 
passes for 21 yards 
and one touchdown. 

Millsaps opened 
the scoring in dramatic 
fashion. Defensive 
back Robert Dupler 
blocked a Sewanee 
punt and returned 
it 35 yards for a touch- 
down. Shawn Gillis' 
extra point made it 
7 to 0 Millsaps. Millsaps 
increased their lead 
to 14 to 0 later in 
the quarter when Fuson 
hit ' Donald on a 14 
yard scoring play. 

Sewanee rallied 



with two touchdowns 
of their own to cut 
the Millsaps lead to 
14 to 12. Undaunted, 
Millsaps marched 
down the field and 
scored their third 
touchdown before 
the first half was 
over. Their third touch- 
down came on a 17 
yard pass from Fuson 
to tight end Roy Murrell. 
Shawn Gillis' successful 
extra point increased 
the Majors' lead to 
nine (21 to 12) at the 
half. 

In the second half, 
Sewanee came out 
ready to play and 
promptly scored to 
make it 26 to 20. Once 
again Millsaps responded 
to the Sewanee threat. 
With little time remain- 



ing in the third quarter, 
Fuson marched the 
Majors 73 yards for 
their final touchdown. 
Fuson scored their 
last touchdown on 
a five yard keeper. 

Sewanee fought 
back with a touchdown 
late in the fourth 
quarter. With the 
score 28 to 26, Sewanee 
decided to go for a 
two point conversion 
and the tie. However, 
the play went for 
naught as Millsaps 
defensive back Paul 
Luttrell batted down 
sewanee's pass for 
the two point conversion. 
Millsaps successfully 
ate up the rest 'of 
the time and went 
back to Jackson with 
a 2 and 0 record.

Coker directs Singers, Troubs RE VI E WS 



Page 7 



by Blake Smith 



One of the many 
new faces around 
the Millsaps campus 
this year is that of 

Dr. Tim Coker, the 
new director of the 
Millsaps Singers. 

Coker came to Mill- 
saps from Tupelo, 
where he was choral 
director for 11 years, 
to replace another 
Tupelo native, Dr. 



Bill Carroll. Although 
he is a graduate of 
Murrah High School, 
he says he is originally 
from "all over Mississip- 
pi." After graduating 
from Murrah, he said 
he studied music at 
the University of South- 
ern Mississippi, where 
he received a Bachelor 
of Music degree in 
piano in 1969, a Masters 
Degree in conducting 
in 197 Z and a Doctorate 
in music education 
this year. His wife 
Cheryl Coker will

begin staying open until midnight, said Assistant 
Dean of Student Affairs Nancy Moore. 

The grill renovation plans are approved, said 
Moore, and those plans to renovate the grill 
will be carried out over Christmas break, she 
said.

a Bachelor of Music 
degree in music educa- 
tion and a Master's 
degree in voice. 

Concerning the 
near future of the 
Singers, Coker said 
the annual Christmas 
Concert of The Messiah, 
along with some shorter 
works, the Millsaps 
Singers Spring Tour 
and participation in 
the Mississippi Opera's 
performance of La 
Boheme are on the 
year's schedule. Next 
Spring a concert will 
be given in celebration 
of the 50th anniversary 
of the Singers. Coker 
said a Millsaps graduate 
has written and commis- 
sioned a piece especially 
for this reason. 

While he said he 
admits that this year's 
choir seems "to be 
lacking in experience," 
Coker said also that 
he acknowledges the 
talent of the choir. 
"I am especially pleased 
with the cooperation 
that I have received." 

Members of the 
Millsaps Singers said 
they consider Coker 
"a very enthusiastic 
and extremely talented 
musician." Not only 
is he knowledgable, 
one Singers member 
said, but he has a 
"special gift for 
transferring this 
knowledge to those 
students in the choir.

Talking Heads 
latest a surprise 

by Reed Hubbard 

***y 2 (scale of four stars) 

Those who have listened to the Talking Heads 
for some time have learned to stop being surprised 
at them. Every album consists of the unexpected 
and the unorthodoxed. On the Heads' latest 
album, this theory holds true to life. David 
Byrne's talent and ability, when pressed to the 
limit, proves itself again and again. In this collec- 
tion, we are presented with a live repertoire 
of the best of the heads from almost primarily 
the last two albums. Almost none of the early 
material is present, most likely due to the fact 
that this period was presented in an earlier 
album (The Name of This Band is Talking Heads), 
and the band enjoys performing a different 
style of music these days. 

Side one is almost completely dominated 
by cuts from 1983's Speaking in Tongues. These 
include a very exciting version of "Burning 
Down the House," an explosive "Girlfriend is 
Better," and a crude, but professional perfor- 
mance of "Psycho Killer." Side two doesn't 
let the listener down by presenting one of the 
best versions of "Life During Wartime" ever 
recorded by the band. Low points are a stagnant 
"What a Day That Was" and a disappointing 
"Swamp," which lost the studio flare captured 
on Speaking. Byrne's ability is as good as always, 
but Tina Weymouth's bass on "Once in a Lifetime" 
and Chris Frantz's drumwork on "Life During 
Wartime" are superb and worthy of notice. 

This album is very well done and is recommend- 
ed highly, not for just the Talking Heads fan, 
but for the person who likes to listen to music 
to have a good time. Surprises are everywhere, 
even where one least expects them.

filled." 

In particular, Harmon , 
credited the College's 
strong liberal arts 
programs, leadership 
in science and computer 
education, and the : 
accredited School 
of Management as 
reasons for Millsaps' 
consistent high marks 
in enrollment and 
student retention. 
In addition to the 
traditional student, 
adult students in Jackson 
are being attracted 
to the Millsaps campus 
by the College's Master 
of Business Administra- 
tion and Adult Degree 
Programs, and by 
the non-credit Continu- 
ing Education and 
Community Enrichment 
Programs. 

During the past 
three years, Millsaps 
has received national 
recognition in a variety 
of publications. In 
"The Selective Guide 
to Colleges," published 
by New York Times, 
Millsaps is recognized 
as the best academic 
institution in the State 



of Mississippi: "From 
the Mississippi 
backwoods to the 
growing Capital City 
of Jackson, accol- 
ades accrue for tiny 
Millsaps College, by 
popular acclaim, the 
best school in Mississip- 
pi," the Guide . reads. 
"...Undergraduates 
say the education 
they - receive is of 
good quality, well-round- 
ed. ..and fun." Likewise, 
the fall 1983 poll of 
1300 college presidents 
by U.S. News and 
World Report led to 
our rating as the number 
one liberal arts college 
in the South and border 
states. In March 1984, 
Money magazine includ- 
ed Millsaps as one 
of ten schools "...high 
on standards, and 
reasonable on cost. ..sel- 
ective. ..their freshman 
dropout rate is lower 
than average." 

President Harmon 
said: "In line with 
the national concern 
over educational stand- 
ards, there is a demand 
for colleges of 

excellence. Institutions 
around the country 



that actually deliver quality in their 
academic and student life programs 
are prospering even in the face 
of a declining college age population. 
The very favorable national attention 
we have received has been important 
in attracting inquiries from prospect- 
ing students. However, if on closer 
examination, prospective students 
had not found the quality of Millsaps' 
programs equal to the reputation, 
they either would not have enrolled 
or, after enrolling, would not have 
remained at the College. Our consist- 
ently improving trend in attracting 
and retaining students proves that 
the Millsaps reputation for excellence 
is deserved and that we are meeting 
the needs of students desiring quality 
education." 



JACKSON, from p. 1 

national debt is not being properly 
shared. He said that many large 
corporations hadn't paid taxes last 
year while "people making $2000 
below the poverty line still had 
to pay taxes." 

"The poor will number 41 million 
by the end of 1984," Jackson said. 
This will be an increase from 36 
million at the end of 1983, he stated, 
adding that "the poorest the nation 
are white, female, young and 
handicapped." 

Closer to home, Jackson said, 
"Four years later [after Reagan 



was sworn into office]," Mississippi 
is still fiftieth in educational and 
economic opportunity." 

"Funds for education have been 
cut 25 percent by Reagan over the 
past four years," Jackson said. 
"Ingenious minds are not able to 
get further education because they 
can't get a PELL grant," he said. 

Jackson said that his religious 
and moral values have influenced 
his political beliefs. He said that 
"my religion makes me political, 
not my politics make me religious." 

He also spoke of the value that 
he places on quality of life, stating 
that "We'll fight for a baby before 
it is born, but we'll take away his 
breakfast and lunch once he is born," 
he said. 

He- emphasized the importance 
of voter registration, stating that 
the media polls should have no bearing 
on the election outcome because 
"the polls haven't opened yet. Today 
[the vote count] is zero to zero." 

Jackson also said that, "Less than 
three million votes have determined 
[the results of] three presidents 
elections," he said. Those elections 
were in 1972, 1968 and I960. 

When Jackson opened the floor 
to questions, junior Andrew Libby 
asked if we can look forward to 
his running for president in 1988. 
"I haven't made it through November, 
1984 yet," Jackson said and added 
that "my goal is to lead the nation."

past weeks has lessened, there is still cause 
for concern, said Director of Campus Safety, 
Wayne Miller. 

According to the Millsaps Security Office, 
the rapist is a 23-year old black man that has 
recently been released from the State Penitent- 
iary at Parchman, Miss. There have been several 
reports of attacks by him around the immediate 
area in recent weeks, and Millsaps students 
were advised to take more precautions and 
to keep an eye out for the man. 

"What I worry most about is a coed studying 
in a large building late at night," commented 
Miller. Most problems in recent years have 
occurred on the south side, where the campus 
is open and lighting is low. 

The assailant was last seen in Kentwood, 
Louisiana, and is said to be heading south. While 
he is not in the Jackson area at the moment, 
there is the possibility of his return. Students 
are therefore advised to continue precautionary 
measures, Miller said. 

Students should also take safety measures 
when traveling alone or at night, Miller added. 
Keep vehicles in good working order. Also, 
unattended rest areas and hitchhikers are best 
avoided. 

Campus safety will be scheduling a rape aware- 
ness seminar later this semester. In the spring 
a seminar on "date rape" will be held. Miller 
said students are encouraged to attend these 
programs.

The funding of alcohol by the 
Student Government Association 
for parties sponsored by the SBA 
became a forbidden allocation last 
Friday as President George Harmon 
said that in the future, "Student 
Government funds may not be used 
for the purchase of alcoholic bever- 
ages for student use." 

Harmon gave his permission Friday 
for one final allocation for SBA 
purchased alcohol for the SBA sponsor- 
ed CS's Beat Rhodes College party. 

Harmon said that the student 
representatives to the Millsaps Board 



of Trustees Committee on Student 
Life may raise the issue with the 
board and "if they [the board members] 
see fit for a different interpretation 
[of college alcohol policy], then 
fine." The Millsaps College Board 
of Trustees meets Oct. 5. 

A question was also raised as 
to whether or not the SBA has the 
freedom to spend SBA funds on 
whatever it chooses. Harmon said 
the student government funds are 
controlled by the SBA officers within 
the general policy of the college. 
He said, "They are only free to act 
within the policy of the college," 
and that the college administration

OPINION 



Get your 
facts straight! 

by Tracey Miller 

Last week many of my friends approach- 
ed me with "secret information" concerning 
the Purple and White. The information 
they had was a list of grievances againt 
the P and W that was made up of tidbits 
of information gained from various sources 
who claimed they knew actions of the 
P and W in the past that involved misappro- 
priation of student funds. 

The staff of the Spectrum was approach- 
ed with this information and they chose 
to find answers. A Publications Committee 
meeting was called for Friday, Sept. 
21 in order to discuss these grievances 



MAILBOX 

ALCOHOL FUNDING 

Report from the SBA 
officers to the Student 
Body Association 
concerning the issue 
of SBA funds used 
in buying beer: 

Last Friday afternoon, 
September 21, the 
officers of the SBA 



against the P and W. (The Publications 
Committee is the governing body, made 
up of Dean Good, Jim Parks, Austin 
Wilson, student chairperson Lida Burris. 
Debbie Jordan and a yet to be appointed 
third student member, that makes decisions 
for the three publications concerning 
major expenditures, editors, budgeting, 
etc.) 

On Thursday night, however, before 
this Publications Committee meeting 
could even be held in order to provide 
answers to questions that the Spectrum 
staff would ask, a member of the Millsaps 
student senate took it upon himself to 
post flyers in front of the student union 
that claimed the P and W was requesting 
a "massive budget increase." 

The information provided on this flyer 
was wrong and later explained in the 
publications meeting. First, the P and 
W budget request was just under $8800, 
only 13 percent of the total SBA budget. 
Secondly, this is not an increase in spending 
of $2000, because $1000 for supplies 
was simply moved from one account 
to another. The other $1000 is miscellan- 
eous cost increases in printing and services. 
Finally, the student activity fee referred 
to in the flyer was the Millsaps College 
activity fee that allows students to see 
free football games, theater productions, 



Arts and Lecture series programs, etc. 
The SBA fee from which the P and W 
budget comes is only $37.50 per student, 
not $50. 

My point with this issue is that matters 
such as those that were chosen to be 
questioned last week concerning the 
P and W are not to be taken lightly. 
Students who choose to pursue such paths 
for information as did this particular 
senator should realize that other peoples' 
reputations are at stake on such issues. 
My reputation as someone entrusted 
with the management of the campus 
newspaper and its funds, in addition 

to the reputation of the Publications 
Committee and its individual members, 
can be def inately opened to question 
when such misinformation is made availa- 
ble to the Millsaps community. 

My advice to those who are trying 
to help or issue criticisms to institutions 
or groups at Millsaps is to use the proper 
manner and channels for such purposes, 
such as the Publications Committee 
concerning publications, SBA committees 
for elections, food service, etc. That 
is why those committees and groups 
exist and when an individual decides 
to evade them and take matters into 
his own hands, the results can be harmful.

George Harmon over

At the first meeting 
President Harmon 
seemed surprised that 
this action of buying 
beer has been continuing 



for the past five years 
since a policy decision 
was made in the spring 
of 1980 disallowing 
it. The problem stemmed 
from the failure of

SPECTRUM LETTER 



Concerning yesterday's 
Spectrum article about 
the Student Body 
Assocication's $228,000 
budget. Absurd. If 
the author of the article 
would have checked, 
he would have discovered 
that the $50 activity 
fee paid by each student 
goes to the schoal-not 
the SBA. The budget 
for the SBA was discuss- 
ed last night at the 
first Student Senate 
meeting and a copy 
is available from your 
senator. That's why 
they were el jcted. 
The amount of the 
total SBA budget this 
year is $66,583. That 
will pay for Intrainurals 
($4560), the Bobishela 
annual ($18,000), this 
paper ($8740), the 
Stylus literary magazine 
($2800), Symposium 
($4000), cheerleaders 
($1200), Fallout ($1000), 
special speakers ($6000), 
SBA parties, and various 
other programs such 



as the student typewriter 
room in Elsinore. 

For $3)7.50 a semester, 
I believe the ; students 
get a very good deal.

REPUBLICAN PARTY 

Dear Editor: 

Why, I wonder, is 
there such a trend 
toward the Repuablican 
Party on Millsaps' 
campus? Why is it 
so "in" to be a Repub- 
lican or wear a Reagan/- 
Bush t-shirt? If these 
students knew and 
really understood 
the issues, I'm convinced 
that they would recon- 
sider their commitment 
to President Reagan. 

Why are college 
students supporting 
a president that, through 
his foreign policy, 
has made the world 
atmosphere so tense

Friday Forum CAMPUS BRIEFS 

Fortenberry speaks on education ^^==^==3**==== 



by Jo Watson 



Recent years have 
seen an increased 
attention to the 
improvement of 
education in the state 
of Mississippi as well 
as much national 
attention to the need 
for an educational 
system which reflects 
the changing needs 
of our society. This 
week's Friday Forum: 
"The Present Societal 
Demands on Public 
Education and Public 
Education's Response," 
with speaker Dr. Robert 
N. Fortenberry, superin- 
tendent of Jackson 
public schools, will 
address this issue. 

Dr. Fortenberry 
has worked in education 



for many years, since 
1958 when he began 
teaching in Moss Point 
city schools. He has 
since been exposed 
to all phases of the 
educational system, 
serving as a coach, 
as the director of 
instruction and director 
of Choctaw county 
school improvement 
program, as an assistant 
in the Institute for 
Culturally Disadvantaged 
Children, and as an 
associate professor 
of education at Alabama 
A and M University. 

The father of two 
children, Dr. Fortenberry 
is well aware of the 
changing needs of 
society for the education 
of their children and 
for the childen's need 
for an approach to 



learning that reflects 
the changing interests 
of a new generation. 

Dr. Fortenberry 
graduated from Colum- 
bia High School, received 
a B.A. and Master 

of Education from 
Mississippi College, 
and a doctorate in 
education from Auborn 
University. He has 
been superintendent 
of Jackson public 
schools since 1973. 

The forum will last 
from 12:30 to 1:30 
p.m. in Academic 
Complex 215. Coffee 
will be available. 

The Public Events 
committee is still 

soliciting student 
ideas for forum topics 
and speakers for the 
spring forum series. 



Computers to be available 
Word processors to be available 



by Mary Vassar Ballard 



The computer department of Mill- 
saps College and the Millsaps Wilson 
Library will make coin-operated 
word-processors available to qualified 
students as soon as the necessary 
equipment arrives and can be installed, 
said Jim Parks, head librarian at 
the Millsaps library. 

The six Deckmate word-processors 
and three printers will be located 
in room 316 upstairs in the library. 
Shive said that a "small number 
of clock hours of instruction of 
how to use the equipment" will be 
necessary before access is available 



to any student. He said a package 
will be available for approximately 
$12, although this price is not certain, 
that will include the training course, 
operating manual, two diskettes 
and a coupon for one hour of free 
usage on the computer. These pack- 
ages will be available from the compu- 
ter services department or possibly 
in the bookstore, said Shive. Additional 
diskettes will also be made available, 
he said. 

Shive said, "We'd like to make 
the equipment available at no 
additional cost, but the equipment 
is so expensive." Operating cost 
is estimated at 25 cents per sheet 
or $2 per hour. 



OPEN CAMPUS MINISTRY TEAM MEETING 

The Campus Ministry Team will hold its first 
open meeting of the year Wednesday, Sept. 
26 at 8:00 pm in the upstairs lounge of the student 
center. The meeting will not last longer than 
an hour. The purpose of this session will be 
to explain the work of the committees, the 
ten special projects the Team has planned for 
this semester, and some other parts of the Team's 
work. All CMT members and interested students 
are encouraged to attend. 



WELLSFEST '84 TO BE HELD 

Wellsfest '84 will be held Saturday, Sept. 
29 from 12:30 pm to 7:00 pm on the Millsaps 
campus. Wellsfest '84 is a non-alcoholic family 
festival which will feature arts & crafts, bands, 
clowns, food, and children's games — all as 
a fund raising benefit for Wells Methodist Church 
of Jackson. Musical entertainment includes 
(among others): Sam Myers, Jewel Bass & These 
Days, Fingers Taylor & Hot Shots, Jean & Kelly 
Pates, The Wellsmen Quartet, and Jessie

Sociology students experience SIMSOC 



by Mary Kay Hall 



Sociology 101 students had an 
opportunity last week to take the role 
of primary players in a game called 
SIMSOC. Standing for simulated society, 
SIMSOC is a required part of the 
Introduction to Sociology classes taught 
by Dr. Allen Scarboro and Mrs. Frances 
Coker. 

The game is constructed so that there 
is no way to win or lose, but the game 
may end when society can no longer 
exist and it dies out. Students are placed 
randomly in one of four groups and assume 
the role characteristic of that group. 
One group is very advantaged, one very 
disadvantaged, and two are middle class; 
each symbolizing an un-named area of 



the country. Students are then presented 
with problems and situations common 
to their group. Because of their positions, 
they learn traits neccessary for society's 
survival. While competition obviously 
exists, so does a sense of community. 
Students strive to bargain and trade 
within their immediate group and also 
externally with the other three. Individuals 
must solve the problem of providing 
employment, food, and subsistence 
neccessary for the continuance of their 
society. While searching for a means 
of meeting their needs, group members 
learn the importance of cooperation 
and interdependence. In an effort to 
survive, a common goal of the lower 
and middle groups is often to reduce 
the inequality between themselves and 
the more advantaged group. 



According to Dr. Scarboro, the first 
group that played on Tuesday had a fairly 
hard time, but they eventually pulled 
it together and got an idea of. what it 
takes to make society work. The group 
that played on Wednesday night killed 
themselves off quickly in approximately 
two hours. Dr. Scarboro attributed their 
failure to rampant conflict within the 
society and an inability to cooperate. 

The Sociology Department plans to 
play SIMSOC again later in the semester. 
At that time it will be optional for 
Sociology 101 students, and other 
interested persons will be able to play. 
The number for play is limited, so if 
you are interested in playing, contact 
someone in the department for more 
details.

trail at Millsaps 

John Zaccaro, Jr. addressed Millsaps students 
last Tuesday, Sept. 18. Zaccaro is the son of 
Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate Geraldine 
Ferraro. He is a 20-year old college student, 
but has taken the semester off to travel around 
the country campaigning for the Democratic 
ticket for the Presidential election, which will 
be held on November 6. Photo by Bobby Soileau.

Oak Ridge applicants sought 



by Lauren Gordon 

Looking for a way 
to get out of Jackson 
for a semester but 
still earn Millsaps 
credit? Then apply 
to the Oak Ridge Semes- 
ter program. Applicat- 
ions are now available 
from Dr. George Beard- 
sley and will be accepted 
through Oct. 8. 

The Oak Ridge Nation- 
al Laboratory was 
founded as a part 
of the World War H 
"Manhattan Project" 
to develop the atomic 
bomb, but today it 
provides students 
with the opportunity 
to study and do research 
in a research facility 
considered one of 
the world's finest, 
according to leaflets 
on the laboratory. 

The laboratory is 
operated for the federal 
government by Martin 
Marietta Energy Sys- 
tems, Inc., and is chiefly 
concerned today with 
the development of 
safe, economical and 
environmentally accept- 
able supplies of energy 
for the future. 

In addition to study 
activities, the Oak 
Ridge Semester has 
unique research 



opportunities 



several 



areas, the leaflet 
said. The program's 
efforts are concentrated 
in the following areas: 
nuclear and engineering 
technologies; physical 
sciences; biomedical 
and environmental 
sciences and advanced 
energy systems. Students 
participate in two 
study components, 
a course of common 
interest and a special 
colloquium, which 
tie in with their re- 
search. Research is 
done in research groups 
dailym, with Oak Ridge 
National Laboratory 
scientists assisting. 

Since Oak Ridge 
is designed as an Energy 
Resource Center, 
the pamphlet said, 
there is a need for 
social scientists to 
participate in the 
program. Applications 
are encouraged from 
the fields of economics, 
sociology and political 
science, as well as 
biology, chemistry, 
engineering, physics 
and mathematics. 

Millsaps participates 
in the Oak Ridge Science 
Semester through 
the Southern College 
University Union and 
Dr. Beardsley is the 
faculty representative 
at Millsaps College. 



Currently, Dr. George 
Ezell is serving at 
Oak Ridge as a resident 
faculty member. Last 
year, Millsaps senior 
Van Roeling participated 
in the program and 
the year before three 
students who we~t 
on the program present- 
ed a Friday Forum 
on their studies at 
Oak Ridge. 

"This is a terrific 
opportunity for students 
to do some things 
we don't have the 
opportunity to do 
here," said Beardsley. 

Credit from the 
program can be obtained 
for the equivalent 
of up to 16 semester 
hours. Students pay 
regular tuition to 
Millsaps and are then 
responsible for room 
and board; there is 
a $1000 stipend available 
to help Millsaps students 
defray expenses. Juniors 
or seniors with at 
least a 3.0 overall 
GPA and a 3.0 in the 
major field are eligible.

If 



USC adopts new 
drinking policy 

College Press Service 

Columbia, SC — For the first time in memory, 
University of South Carolina students who are 
under 19 can't drink this fall. 

The result, as USC officials concoct a way 
to enforce the new 19-year-old drinking age 
the state just adopted, seems to be a sort of 
chaotic uneasiness. 

Officials can't even decide how student groups 
should pay for alcohol consumed at social events, 
since using activity fee money would be "unfair" 
to under-19 students, says Mike Shaver of the 
Campus Alcohol Project. 

Even the campus bar is changed. The Golden 
Spur is replacing beer with pizza just to avoid 
the hassles the new drinking policy creates. 

Wild rumors, closed-down campus haunts, 
job losses and even complete overhauls of college 
social activities have been marking the first 
weeks of school as scores of colleges open up 
for the first time under new legal minimum 
drinking age laws or tougher on-campus drinking 
policies. 

Many experts worry the new regulations are 
confusing, ill-planned and virtually unenforceable. 

Alcohol, moreover, is so closely associated 
with college life that many students simply 
don't know how to spend their leisure time without 
drinking, says Charles Tucker, a University 
of South Florida sociologist. 

The rising drinking ages and tougher campus 
drinking rules nationwide are "sure to cause 
concern and turmoil on many campuses," adds 
Gerardo Gonzales, a University of Florida counse- 
lor and director of BACCHUS, a national group 
aimed at controlling student drinking. 

It's "a situation that administrators realistically 
cannot enforce," he asserts. 

If schools are going to make the new rules 
work, they need to provide alternative social 
activities, says Tucker. 

Without help, students are left to entertain 
rumors of undercover campus police infiltrating 
dorm and rush parties to catch underaged 
drinkers. 

That rumor was so widespread at Arizona 
State that ASU police two weeks ago had to 
issue a public denial to reassure students. 

And University of California-Berkeley adminis- 
trators last week chastised the student newspaper, 
the Daily Californian, for running an article 
that told students how to get fake i.d.s to obtain 
liquor despite the university's newly-adopted 
restrictions. 

On some campuses, new drinking rules are 
costing students their part-time jobs. 

At the University of Illinois-Champaign, local 
bar owners recently predicted as many as 150 
students could lose their part-time waiting 
and bartending jobs if the town government 
decides to require all liquor servers to be 21. 

Some observers even fear the new crackdown 
on student drinking could boomerang, forcing 
younger students to become "underground" 
drinkers. 

Left with no place to legally drink on campus, 
they warn under-aged students will do more 
off-campus drinking, more drinking and driving, 
and be less-inclined to drink responsibly.

Doing it: 

Delta Devil Style 

by Matt Kaye 

Some things just have to be witnessed before 
you can believe them. I witnessed Saturday 
night, but I'm still not sure whether I believe 
it; what is it you ask? It's Valley Ball under 
the direction of Archie Cooley, a.k.a. "The 
Gunslinger." For football fans everywhere it 
is without a doubt the Mona Lisa of the O rid-iron. 
It is downright beautiful. 

I guess the logical place to start would bfe 
with quarterback Willie Totten, a.k.a. Satellite. 
Through three games, Satellite has 'thrown for 
1593 yards, 21 touchdowns and only six intercep- 
tions. That's an average of 531 yards and seven 
touchdowns a game. Those statistics are a season 
for most people. 

Then we have Jerry Rice, a.k.a. "The Express." 
Without a doubt, Rice will be taken in the top 
five picks in the NFL spring draft. He is an 
impact player beyond imagination. He is compara- 
ble to Lynn Swan right now. Through three 
games, he has 47 catches for 718 yards and 
10 touchdowns. 

Totten and Rice together (The Satellite Express) 
could not work effectively without excellent 
pass protection. Enter the offensive line, a.k.a. 
"Tons of Funs." Opponents know the pass is 
coming but still cannot get to Totten. That 
is efficiency. 

As a team, Valley is averaging 70.7 points 
per ball game, winning by scores at 86 to 0, 
77 to 15 and 49 to 32. They go without a huddle 
which makes the effort even more impressive. 

If you want to check out a different brand 
of football, head on down to Itta Ben a. It will 
be worth the trip. I guarantee it because at 
the year's end, we may be saying Valley, a.k.a-

Majors suffer first loss 
to rival Rhodes College 



by Barton Thrasher 

Saturday, the Millsaps 
Majors football team 
suffered its first loss 
of the 1984 season 
to Rhodes College, 
formerly Southwestern 
at Memphis, by the 
score of 32 to 8. 

For the Majors and 
Coach Harper Davis, 
the game, marred 
by 10 turnovers by, 
the Majors, was a 
nightmare. Coach 
Davis commented 
after the game, "A 
coach dreads something 
like this happening, 
but it never does. 
Not until today anyway." 
Millsaps was favored 
by six points coming 
into the game, but 
the turnovers definitely 
made the difference 
in the outcome. 

The tone for the 
game was set when 
the Majors' Edmond 
Donald fumbled the 
opening kickoff. The 
first half was dominated 
by the Lynxcats as 
the Majors committed 
eight costly turnovers, 
five fumbles and three 
interceptions. 

For Rhodes, their 
main offensive weapon 
was their placekicker, 
Jim Hever. He kicked 
six of eight field goals 
for the game, thus 



establishing an NCAA 
Division III record 
for most field goals 
in a game. The Majors' 
defense was the main 
reason he had so many 
chances. Repeatedly, 
after turnovers by 
the offense, the defense 
held tight against 
the Lynx' offense, 
thus forcing them 
to attempt field goals. 
Hever connected on 
five of six field goals 
from 30, 24, 42, 44 
and 46 yards in the 
first half, the last 
two coming in the 
final 48 seconds of 
the half. The Lynx 
struck only once for 
a touchdown to give 
them a 22 to 0 halftime 
lead. 

The second half 
wasn't much better 
for the Majors as they 
had to play "catch 
up ball" in a downpour. 
The offense finally 
got on track late in 
the game with quarter- 
back Steve Fuson 
hitting receiver Doug 
Hudnall for a five 
yard touchdown pass. 
The Majors got a two 
point conversion from 
a Fuson to Donald 
pass. Donald, the Majors' 
All-American tailback, 
was keyed on heavily 
by the Lynx defenders 
due to his large role 
in Millsaps' victory 



over Rhodes six to 
three last year in 
Memphis. Donald finish- 
ed the day with 20 
carries for 85 yards. 

Sophomore linebacker 
Greg Bost said he 
thought that the defense 
played very well, barring 
three big plays (175 
yard run, two touchdown 
passes of 45 and 35 
yards). The defense 
spent most of the 
day on the field and 
did an admirable job 
against a potent Rhodes' 
offense. 

The game against 
Rhodes was one players 
and coaches would 
like to forget. They 
must put it behind 
them and look toward 
this week's game against 
Trinity in San Antonio. 
The Majors, now two 
and one, will be hoping 
to turn things around 
with a win after Satur- 
day's disappointing 
loss to arch-rival Rhodes 
College. 

President George 
Harmon, a Southwestern 
at Memphis alumnus, 
said in a related state- 
ment, "When I came 
here five years ago, 
I told people up there 
[Memphis] that South- 
western never would 
best Millsaps and it 
never did. They had 
to change the school's 
name to beat us."

government funds for the purchase 
of alcohol for student consumption. 
All executives assumed the previous 
decision was being followed, Harmon 
said. 

Harmon said that last week he 
had just returned from out of town 
when he made the question as to 
whether or not the "free beer" for 
Friday night's party would be paid 
for by the SB A. He said he found 
out from Assistant Dean of Student 
Affairs Nancy Moore that it would 
be and that it had been done before. 
Harmon said he knew they served 
beer at fraternity parties, but that 
he assumed it was "out of fraternity 
funds." 

SBA President John Pigott said 
it was a matter of "his jurisdiction 
and his ignorance in the whole issue" 
and that the major problem was 
a lack of communication within

and board are ultimately responsible 
for such allocations. 

In the Spring of 1980, Harmon 
said, the notion of buying alcoholic 
beverages with student government 
funds became an issue and was denied 
because of the Millsaps College 
alcohol policy and Harmon's interpre- 
tation of it. He said all of the execu- 
tive officers of the college were 
in agreement with the decision. 

Harmon said that Dean Stuart 
Good was later hired as the first 
full time dean of student affairs 
not long after that decision and 
"the notion of paying for beverages 
was not discussed; we didn't bring 
it up in detail." He also said he thought 
the issue was settled by the previous 
decision, but that Dean Good did 
not get the history of the incident 
and therefore began approving student 




REVIEWS 



Ocean and Survivor 
good choices 

b y Blake Smith 

Billy Ocean sails into his first big hit with 
"Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)," 
his first release off his Suddenly album. Although 
this big hit presents a portion of his vocal talent, 
it is only the tip of the iceburg. His true talent 
shines through on the slower songs like "Suddenly" 
| (which you can look forward to hearing as soon 
I as his current hit is played to death) and "The 
Long and Winding Road." 

This album is loaded with unusual rhythm 
and vocal precision, but it lacks decent lyrics 
and any instrumentation besides drums and 
bass. The few good lyrics are repeated too often. 
Buy it for a "Party Album."

The first two songs of Survivor's new production 
Vital Signs are very energetic and somewhat 
different from anything they have done in the 
past. "I Can't Hold Back" has the vocal perfection 
of Chicago and the pushed rhythm that Survivor 
has taken as their characteristic style. But 
after the next explosive song, the "Vital Signs" 
drop drastically, almost to the point of no pulse 
at all! I was pretty disappointed with the rest 
of the album. Most of the songs sound like the 
songs of the Caught in the Game album, except 
for new words. 

Even with the replacement of lead singer 
Dave Bickler with Jimi Jameson the songs still 
sound amazingly similar. I loved their first 
album, I lived with the second, and now I'm 
holding my breath (and my wallet) for the third.

ALCOHOL, from p. 7 

the administration 
and between the students 
and the administration, 
z Harmon said he 
relented on Friday 
because of the late 
date, the fact that 
it had been going on 
for so long and that 
he thought it was 
"not particularly fair; 
they acted in good 
faith, so I acted in 
good faith." He said 
he backed down for 
the moment not because 
of pressure from the 
students, but because 
the SBA had a very 
constructive and 
responsible way when 
they met with the 
president late Friday 
afternoon to ask for 
reconsideration on 
the grounds that it 
was not a written 
policy and was unclear. 



Harmon added that 
Millsaps is not a state 
institution. "It has 
ties to its sponsors 
and principles which 
underlie the church." 



The SBA officers, 
after making the flier 
informing the students 
of the situation, met 
with President Harmon 
to discuss the issue. 
In addition to claiming 
ignorance of the budget 
spending, Harmon 
stated that his interpret- 
ation of the board 
on this policy would 
definately be to reject 
the spending of funds 
on alcohol. We, or 
the other hand, brought 
up the fact that our 
SBA Constitution 
allowed us full juris- 
diction of the appro- 
priation of student 
association funds in 
both the literal trans- 
lation and spirit of 
the laws. 

President Harmon 
realized the validity 
of both sides of the 
issue and as a result 
decided on letting 
the SBA provide beer 
at the September 
21, "Beat Rhodes Col- 
lege/Prohibition" party. 
The decision, however, 
does not set a precedent 
for the rest of the 
school year, but just 
applied to last Friday's 
situation. Future 
plans for deciding 
the outcome of this 
issue will consist of 
its presentation to 
the Board of Trustees 
at its next meeting 
for an official policy 
decision. 

The importance 
of the issue remains 
with the question 
of presidential 
jurisdiction and 
interpretation over 
the expenditures of 
student funds since

Panhellenic council considers 
new sorority on campus 



by Kelly Wilf ord 



The Millsaps Panhell- 
enic Council has decided 
to send questionaires 
to two sororities- 
Delta Delta Delta 
and Delta Gamma- 
to get more information 
so that they can deter- 
mine whether to invite 
one of these sororities 
to open a chapter 
on campus, said Patricia 
Cooper, Panhellenic 
president. 

Panhellenic will 
send the two sororities 
information about 
our campus and the 
Greek system in general, 
Cooper said. She said 
along with other infor- 
mation, they would 
be sent statistics ranging 
from the percentage 
of females on campus 
to the percentage 
of freshmen women 
going through Rush. 
Questionaires asking 
the sororities about 
their method of member- 
ship selection, philan- 
thropies, customs, 



alumni support, and 
other information 
about their sorority 
will be sent along 
with the information 
about Millsaps. 

After the sororities 
send the questionaires 
back to the Panhellenic 
Council, they will 
look over them and 
determine whether 
they want the groups 
to come on campus 
and make a presentation 
about their sorority, 
said Cooper. 

Neely Pemberton, 
Panhellenic Secretary, 
said these two sororities 
were chosen because 
of their strong alumni 
support in this area 
and because they "have 
shown interest in coming 
on campus." 

Cooper said there 
were several reasons 
that prompted the 
Panhellenic Council 
to look into adding 
another sorority. The 
major reasons are 
because of the increasing 
enrollment at the 
college and the great 



number of girls going 

through Rush each 

year. She said the 

number of girls going 

through Rush has 

increased every year, 

and the quota has 

gotten too high. 

Pemberton agreed, 
"The house totals 
should be around 60 
and they average 
between 90 and 100, 
which is really too 
high for our campus." 

The Panhellenic 
Council also hopes 
that a new sorority 
will decrease the strong 
rivalry between the 
sororities on campus 
and the number of 
girls who get "messed 
over" (don't receive 
a bid from any of 
the three sororities) 
every year. 

Rumors of a new 
fraternity also being 
invited to open a chapter 
on campus have yet 
to be confirmed by 
either the Student 
Affairs office or 
Interfraternity Council. 




Last Thursday, a reception was held at Millsaps for a group ot women 

leaders from various countries touring the United States to learn more 
about women's roles and rights in our country, and about U.S. policy 
towards the rights of women in the world today. Shown above is the

OPINION 



Senate needs some 
minor attention 

by Tracey Miller 

Last night I had the opportunity to 
sit in on the second senate meeting of 
the semester. My first impression was 
that the 1984 senate is more open-minded 
and liberal than previous senates from 
under President Billy Wheeler's administra- 
tion, but I would like to point out several 
misgivings concerning the senate meetings, 
however. 

Last night approximately one hour 
was spent in discussion, debate and voting 
on an amendment that would later give 



$2000 to the Black Student Association 
for Black History Month. Twelve-plus 
senators spoke on this issue that was 
already passed by last year's senate to 
be considered as a line item in this year's 
budget. Once added as a line item, a 
mistake in the item read $1000 rather 
than $2000 and the extra $1000 would 
have to be taken out of the only yet 
to be approved item in the budget, the 
activities budget. Although this was 
an important consideration, I feel that 
much of the discussion varied too far 
off line to such irrelevancies as what 
the BSA's fund-raising activities are. 
I think being more alert during a meeting 
as to the real issue would help cut out 
some of this kind of chatter. 

Another misgiving involves the use 
of parliamentary procedure by the senate. 
I would simply like to say, as a "friendly 
suggestion," that President Pigott give 
himself and the senate further, more 
extensive lessons and written guidelines 
on Robert's Rules. 

Also, one further suggestion; please, 
senators, do yourselves a favor: think 



before you speak up about things. So 
much time (study time, possibly?) is 
wasted on repetitious statements, irrele- 
vant questions and statements, and yes, 
mistakes in parliamentary procedure. 
Most of these can be avoided by simply 
rethinking your remarks before they 
are made. 

Senate, you have great potential. Use 
your time wisely making improvements 
for our campus and students and for 
what will best attract persons to Millsaps.

REPUBLICAN REPLY 

Dear Editor, 

I was simultaneously 
amused and appalled 
at Sue Westheimer's 
letter in which she 
castigated the members 
of the Millsaps College 
Republicans for not 
knowing what the 
issues were: amused 
at the obvious tone 
of desperation (how 
far is Mondale behind?), 
and appalled at her 



one-sided views of 
the American political 
system and yes, the 
issues themselves. 

To briefly examine 
the issues, or rather, 
the side Ms. Westheim- 
er's letter ignored: 
(a)Social security 
benefits have not 
been cut; rather, the 
inflationary and deficit — 
causing increases 
in their levels was. 
The bipartisan commis- 
sion set up by President 
Reagan to attempt 
to salvage (not destroy) 



the inefficient system 
made this recommenda- 
tion to the President, 
and he approved. Thus, 
it wasn't necessary 
for Reagan to sit up 
at night contemplating 
ways in which he could 
destroy the future 
of America's youth. 
(b)The Pershing II 
missies deployed in 
Western Europe are 
being done so under 
this administration; 
the decision to do 
so, however, was taken 
in 1977 by the NATO 




to counter the enormous 
arsenals of SS-18's 
and SS-20's deployed 
under Mr. Brezhnev's 
tenure. This means, 
by the fact of chronolo- 
gy, that Walter Mondale 
was part of the US 
administrative machin- 
ery that helped to 
provide material and 
financial support for 
this action. In addition, 
the ACDA disclosed 
this summer that our 
peace-loving tovarishchii

of their on-going cam-

GIRL PROBLEMS 

Dear Editor, 

All of us have felt 
the frustration of 
misunderstanding. 
Usually the misunder- 
standing is a result 
of an incorrect as- 
sumption we make. 
Let me give an example 
that may occur more 
than occasionally. 
Let's say John asks 
Jane for a date. Jane 
says she has other 
plans. John asks again 
next week. There's 
another good excuse. 
Is John's timing not 
right or is he being 



brushed off? Of course 
Jane could be direct 
to John and answer 
this question. But 
isn't there some kind 
of "social rule" that 
says wae are not sup- 
posed to be too direct. 
It seems that other 
than direct leads to 
assumptions by John. 
John may have gotten 
the "hint" that Jane 
doesn't want to go

Friday Forum 

Artists' compositions discussed 



by Jo Watson 



This week's Friday 
Forum: "Reflections 
on Composing by an 
Artist," will offer 
insights into the work 
of a composing artist. 
Frank Stewart, a profes- 
sor of music theory

1:30 p.m. in the Recital 
Hall of the Academic 
Complex. 

Stewart holds a 
B.M. from the Eastman 
School of Music, a 
M.M. from Colorado 
State University and 
a Ph.D. from Michigan 
State University. 

He has received 
numerous awards and 
grants, including the 
Alice M. Ditson award 
in composition from 
Columbia University, 
first prize at the 1981 
College Band Directors 
National Association 
Conference for his 
composition "Illumina- 
tions, "the Phi Mu

The Annual Fall 
Symposium scheduled 
for Nov. 6 and 7 has 
been postponed until 
Jan. 22 and 23, said 
Symposium Committee 
co-chairperson Debbie 
Jordan. The Symposium 



topic for the year

and the committee 
has postponed the 
event because of "unfor- 
tunate delays in schedul- 
ing speakers." 

Many contacts have 
been made for speakers, 
Jordan said, and the 
committee has definitely

Dinsmore of Wisconson 
for two of the four 
sessions. Dinsmore 
taught the "Death 
and Grief" class at 
Millsaps for several 
semesters while he 
was affiliated with 
the University Medical 
Center in Jackson.

Science ..." 

New course kicks off in Sullivan-Harrell 



by Johanna Burkett 



After three years of planning, this 
fall marked the emergence pf an alterna- 
tive for non-science majors at Millsaps. 
The Millsaps Science Department is 
currently teaching "Science and the 
Human Prospect," which, according to 
Dr. Jimmy Purser and Mr. Bob Nevins, 
the two course instructors, is designed 
to help the students gain a larger scope 
of science in their lives. 

Organized around the Bronowski film 
series "The Ascent of Man," the course 
is "culturally and historically oriented," 
similar in nature to the Heritage program, 
said Nevins. He said the course is full 
of devices which would place it in a 
"non-threatening setting" for those stu- 
dents who cringe at the mention of the 
word science. 

The combination of the lecture and 
lab for one grade helps the overall course 
grade through the merging of the quantita- 
tive aspects of science with the artistic 
and manipulative, said Purser. Use of 
the computer is also integrated as a 
course aid in two ways, he said. It first 
serves as a tutorial computer, involved 
in the multiple-take tests offered by 
the program. If a test is failed twice, 



the student must make use of the tutorial 
computer which serves as a study guide. 
The computer also serves as a 
computational aid in the labs, by showing 
the students whether or not their data 
is good when it is plugged into the specified 
program. The instructors feel the use 
of the computer in the course is important 
in developing a sense of its role and 
use in society. 

The instructors also said they devised 
Peer Groups which met weekly for the 
first three weeks to get feedback and 
answer questions about the course. They 
plan to have more Peer Group meetings 
throughout the year to maintain "open 
lines of communication." The students 
are also required to turn in journals, 
serving as another feedback mechanism. 
These devices are also important in the 
further development of the course for 
future years. Purser said he realizes 
that this is the "guinea pig year" and 
maintains that "we [the instructors] 
are sensitive to that." 

The course is separated into four 
modules. The first module stresses the 
history of the science and origin of the 

scientific method; the second is concerned 
with the desire for energy and the effects 
of pollution; the third deals with the 



factors affecting human populations 
and the origin of the species; the final 

module is an integration, designed to 
create a synthesis of all the subjects 
and how it applies to the human prospect. 

The students also participate in discus- 
sion groups which help in the application 
of what is learned in the course, said 
Nevins and Purser. The topics, frequently 
taken from the magazine Science 84, 
range from life on other planets to birth 
control and the relationship between 
Donald and Daisy Duck, in order to show 
that "even something trivial can be argued 
and discussed," they said. 

The instructors stress that the main 
purpose of the course is to give the stu- 
dents the ability to look at science wit 

some degree of selectivity and protect 
themselves from misinformation, the 
instructors said. Through this course, 
students will gain a basis of science 
to help in understanding current themes 
and issues, they said. 

Senior Beth Collins, a student in tb 
program, said, "It's effective in providing 
a science class that will present a broad 
background of the science discipline 
and will be challenging, yet not prov 
impossible."

One third female students harrassed on campus 



College Press Service 

Cincinnati, OH— Nearly 
one-third of all female 
college students are 
sexually harassed 
on campus — mostly 

by male faculty mem- 
bers—but few women 
complain because 
of embarrassing, drawn — 
out grievance proced- 
ures, a new book claims. 

The harassment, 
moreover t can cause 
emotional problems 
and make victims 



hostile toward men, 
says Linda Weiner, 
University of Cincinnati 
vice provost for student 
affairs and Billie Wright 
Dzeich, a U.C. English 
professor, authors 
of "The Lecherous 
Professor," a book 
on harassment on 
campus. 

"Students are fright- 
ened," Dzeich explains. 
"They let harassment 
go on. They endure 
it, anything but confront 
it. 'I don't want him 
to get in trouble, I 



Famous last words

"Are you OK to drive?" 
"What's a few beers?" 

"Did you have too much to drink?" 
"I'm perfectly fine" 

"Are you in any shape to drive?" 
"Vve never felt better" 

"I think you've had a few too many."

let me drive" 
"Nobody drives my car bat me" 

"Are you OK to drive?"

just want him to stop,' 
is a common reaction." 

Students often feel 
intimidated or powerless 
to stop the harassment, 
although institutions 
are required to have 
grievance procedures 
and programs to support 
them, Dzeich points 
out. 

"Many of these pro- 
grams are slow in 
coming," she states. 
"But if they're not 
adequate, students 
begin to protest." 

Few faculty members 
harass students, Dzeich 
stresses, but those 
who do are usually 
chronic repeaters. 

"A million-plus women 
are harasses each 
year 
it's a 



" she adds. "But 
small number 



of faculty who do 
it." 

The authors found 
three common types 
of harassers. 

The "counselor-helper" 
preys on troubled 
students' needs for 
close relationships. 
The "power broker" 
bargains grades and 
recommendations 
for sexual favors, 
and the "intellectual 
seducer draws personal 
information from 
students in class. 

The authors' findings 
are consistant with 
those in other harass- 
ment studies. 

The University of 
California at Berekley 
determined in 1979 
that 30 percent of 
its female students 
recieved unwanted 



sexual attention from 

instructors. 

In a 1982 University 
of Washington study, 
41 percent of campus 
women claimed they'd 
been sexually harassed. 
In 1983, nearly a fourth 
of Penn State's women 
students said they 

had been harasses. 

"Our policy on sexual 

harassment allows 
students three channels 
for complaints," reports 
Vicky Eide of Iowa 
State University's 
Affirmative Action 
office. "Informal com- 
plaints go through 
advisors or department 
chairs. Affirmative 
Action handles formal 
complaints, or students 
may go through an 
outside channel such 
as the Iowa Civil Rights 
Commission."

Majors get third win 



■tps Press Release 



Jackson, MS — The Millsaps Majors football team 
got back on the winning track this past weekend 
shutting out Trinity College 14-0 in San Antonio. 

The key for the Majors was the absence of 
turnovers which had plagued them the week 
before against Rhodes College. 

Millsaps totally dominated the game both 
fensively and defensively. The offense piled 
up 330 yards in total offense and 15 first downs, 
while the defense limited Trinity to 22 yards 
rushing and minus three yards passing for only 
19 total yards. 

Millsaps' rushing offense was spread evenly 
oss the roster with Edmond Donald (21 carries, 
85 yards), Kelvin McLaurin (9 carries, 74 yards) 
and Doug Burgess (12 carries, 53 yards). McLaurin 
scored the first touchdown on a nine-yard jaunt 
with only 3:44 remaining before the half. Shawn 
Gillis' PAT made the score 7-0, a lead that 
would carry into the fourth quarter. Burgess 
extended the lead to 14-0 on a three-yard dive 
to close the scoring with 9:02 left in the game. 

The Majors, 3-1, now travel to Atlanta, GA 
to face Baptist University who is 0-3. Millsaps 
returns home Oct. 13 to face Division II power 
Austin College for Homecoming.

busy game schedule 



ark Ricketts 



The Millsaps Majors 
soccer team had a 
busy week with three 
games in six days, 
le Majors opened 
he week against cross- 
own rival Belhaven. 
Millsaps, who played 
without four starters, 

played well, and with 
twenty minutes to 
go tied the game one 
to one on a goal by 
Joug Page. The highly 
rated Belhaven squad 
finally wore down 
Lhe injury depleted 
Majors and won three 
to one. The loss spoiled 
a courageous effort 
by senior Bill Baine, 
who filled in at goalie 

for the injured Marion 
Lyons. It was Baine's 
first game at goalie 
since high school. 

The Majors' next 
game was against 
Sewanee. Deadlocked 
zero to zero at halftime, 
the Majors took the 
lead on a goal by David 
Forsythe. The Majors 



held on tiie rest of 
the way and picked 
up their second win 
of the season. Goalie 
Marion Lyons, returning 
from an ankle injury, 
recorded his first 
shut-out of the season 
and the twelfth of 
his career (a Millsaps 
record). 

Millsaps traveled 
to Louisiana Sunday 
to play Centenary 
in the Pelican State 
Doubleheader. Fresh 
from their defeat 
of Sewanee, Millsaps 
jumped to an early 
one to zero lead on 
a beautiful header 
by Kevin Brune. Centen- 
ary tied the score 
at one, but the Majors 
regained the lead 
on a goal by David 
Forsythe. The Majors 
kept the lead until 
the 10 minute mark 
in the game when 
Centenary erupted 
for two goals and 
the victory (3 to 2). 
The tough-luck loss 
lowered the Majors' 
record to 2-4-1.

REVIEWS 



Albert Labasse tries to gain control of the ball in a match Sunday against Sewanee. 

The Majors went on to win 1-0. 

Tigers breeze to Series win? 



by Tom Carey 



"Take me out to the ballgame. 
." The Cub's theme song was heard 
uring a lot of wins this year, but 
want to celebrate the World 
Champion this year, you 
better head to Detroit. 

The league championships are 
just around the corner and the surpri- 
ses are many. The Cubs won their 
first division title and are trying 
for their first pennant since 1945. 
The Kansas City Royals, proving 
that someone can win in that city, 
also won their divisional championship, 
mostly on the strength of their pitch- 
ing. The San Diego Padres won their 
first divisional championship and 
he Detroit Tigers were the best 
team in baseball during the 1984 
regular season. 

But in the play-offs, baseball 
becomes a different game. Teams 
that were mediocre in the regular 
season can shoot through and play 
above their heads, such as the 
Philadelphia Phillies last year. 
Pitching becomes ultra-important, 
as most teams switch to a three-man 
rotation during post-season play. 
The bullpen also becomes more 
important because the manager 
might go to the stopper in almost 
every game. Depth, both hitting 
and pitching, decreases drastically 
in importance as the starters play 
almost every inning. 

Besides these changes, the game 
itself changes. Run production drops 
during the series. Good pitchers, 
as a group, allow a higher percentage 
of their runs on home runs than 
do bad pitchers. Because your best 
pitchers pitch a , larger share of 
games in the play-offs than in the 
regular season, more runs are scored 
on home runs than usual. Therefore, 
the power clubs usually do better 
than the other clubs in the play-offs. 
Looking at it realistically, it's much 
easier to stop a three-run inning 



to stop a three-run inning that requires 
two or three hits. 

Is who's going to the World Series? 
In the American League, it's fairly 
obvious. The Tigers will sweep past 
the Royals in four games, unless 
Dan Quisenberry relieves in the 
first inning. The Tigers are just 
a solid club, with the best offense 
in the league. Their front-line pitching 
(three starters plus two relievers) 
might be the best in baseball and 
their defense up the middle is by 
far the best. The Royals, on the 
other hand, have an offense as weak 
as their NFL counterparts, the chiefs. 
Their pitching isn't good enough 
to get them by, so the choice here 
is to the Tigers. 

The National League is a little 
more interesting. Both teams have 
their strenghts, but the Cubs seem 
to have a few more weaknesses. 
Their infield, with the exception 
of MVP Ryne Sandberg, plays defense 
worse than the Afghanistan Invasion 
Repellant Forces. Their pitching, 
hidden well because of their great 
offense, is very suspect. Without 
Rich Rutcliffe or Rich Bordi (who?), 
there wouldn't be a pitcher on the 
team with an ERA under 3.00. Their 
bullpen, led by Lee Smith, couldn't 
stop a rally led by rioting Juice 
Newton fans in the Christian Center 
at Millsaps (or is that another story?). 
Anyway, the Padres have the best 
bullpen in baseball with Gossage, 
Dravechy and others. Their starters 
should be consistent and their offense 
was third in the league in runs scored. 
As long as Alan Wiggins (who couldn't 
play second base worse with a mach- 
ete) doesn't blow their defense, 
the Padres should win the National 
League pennant. 

The World Series, then, boils down 
to Detroit and San Diego. The Tigers 
should then outhit and outpitch 
the Padres for the Series' champion- 
ship. 

P.S. Lou Whitaker will be the MVP 



Bangles bang all 
over the place 

by Reed Hubbard 

BANGLES-ALL OVER THE PLACE 
*** 



After the punk explosion of 1978-79 in Los 
Angeles, a new psychedelic style of music, 
the Paisley Underground, developed. Bands 
included the likes of the Dream Syndicate, 
Redd Cross, The Three O'clock, and the Rain 
Parade. From this new culture developed four 
women who called themselves the Bangs. This 
name later became the Bangles and a style 
developed that made the LA music community 
stand up and take notice. Many people were 
quick to stamp them as the "New Go-Go's," 
without even hearing the sound that was being 
played. The Go-Go's were very far removed 
for a band whose obvious influence was the 
Beetles. On their first Columbia release, All 
Over the Place, The Bangles provide a fiery, 
inspired pop that destroys the original tags 
placed upon them: 

The Bangles are led by Susanna Hoffs and 
Vicki Peterson, two guitarists/songwriters that 
admit strong Liverpool influences. From the 
vocal introduction of "Hero Takes A Fall" to 
the final orchestration of "More Than Meets 
the Eye," these four girls deliver an underlying 
sense of carefree happiness and confidence 
which allows the listener to escape into a world 
long since abandoned by popular music. Recom- 
mended tracks are "Dover Beach," "Going Down 
to Liverpool," and "Silent Treatment." No vinyl 
is wasted on this album, and no time is wasted 
while listening to it. 

All Over the Place takes the typical problems 
of the male as depicted in popular music and 
focuses them through a female's eyes. The final 
result is a non-stop album of fun-to-listen-to 
music. Perhaps in the future the Bangles will 
surpass the Go-Go's as the premiere female 
act in the music industry. In the meantime, 
join the party. At least it's in good hands.

is not shifted to the 
war-mongering capitalist 
wolves, have deployed 
some 8000 new warheads 
since the SALT II 
treaty. Let's also not 
forget that they're 
carpet-bombing the 
Afgham "terrorists 
and reactionary hooli- 
gans, all agents of 
the US's CIA" 1 , and 
actively working to 
set up what they call 
"revolutionary tribunals 
of the freedom loving 
peoples of Latin Ameri- 
ca"^. As far as Poland, 
we can forgive them, 
I guess; after all, what's 
the mild threat of 

another Hungary or 
Czechoslovakia compar- 



ed to events like with- 
drawing our forces 
from Lebanon (which 
no doubt brought the 
world closer tc 
Armageddon)? 

The point, however, 
is that I think Ms. 
Westheimer should 
reexamine the source 
of her neuroses about 
modern life and not 
find a scapegoat in 
Washington for them. 
Washington is not 
innocent, but to blame 
every source of tension 
in the international 
political system on 
the current administra- 
tion is the height of 
myopia. 

As for the assertion 
that the College Repub- 
licans have not the 
cerebral capacity 



to analyze the issues, 
the following considera- 
tions are in line: 

(a) a 1974 study by 
two Princeton political 
scientists showed 
that 59 percent of 
the high school seniors 
interviewed retained 
the same political 
identification that 
their parents had. 
Thus, Millsaps College 
Republicans are hardly 

being "trendy." 

(b) most parents transmit 
feelings of approval/dis- 
approval towards politi- 
cal figures. They rarely 
take time out to train 
children to think politi- 
cally. Thus, most people 
in America vote on 
the basis of a candidate's 
charm, charisma, 



and other intangibles 
unrelated to the issues. 
If you don't believe 
this, Ms. Westheimer, 
I suggest that you 
conduct a poll of the 
Queens blue collar 
workers planning to 
vote for Ferraro: I 
somehow doubt that 
it is because of her 
ideas on restructuring 
Latin American debt. 
(c)finally, if you yourself 
are so concerned with 
the issues, why not 
come to the "Issues 
of the '84 Campaign" 
series I co-organized 
with Jim Bobo? Please, 
let's have none of 
the pot calling the 
kettle black-or hypocrit- 
ical. It is one thing 
to castigate someone 
unwilling to admit 
the shortcomings of 



his political views, 
and yes, I certainly 
recognize Mr. Reagan's 
numerous shortcomings, 
but quite another 
to label as intellectually 
unfounded someone's 
opinions that happen 
to differ from yours. 
Sincerly yours,

of the "game" then 
the game could be 
played properly. 

Now let me express 
another matter that 
may be misunderstood. 
I've read and heard 
that girls like a guy 
with confidence. I've 
always wondered, 
what kind of confidence. 
I think most girls would 
say an "inner 

confidence". It seems 
very difficult to know 
if a person has inner 
confidence unless 
you know his inner 

in his religion or his 
way of life. These 
areas of confidence 
come mainly from 
within. But confidence 
in a matter that involves 
others, involves approval 
by others. We all lose 
confidence when there 
is a chance of failure 
(i.e. on a test). For 
example, a girl may 
be perfect for a given 
sorority but past re- 
jection compells her 
not to try. 

What I have stated 
doesn't solve any prob- 
lems, but at least 
hen we discuss a 
tter ^we may be 



clearing a misunder- 
standing concerning 
it. A humble suggestion 
would be to cut back 
on assumptions. John's 
assumption was wrong. 
Jane's assumption 
that she may be too 
forward may also 
be wrong. In both 
cases, assumptions 
were used to protect 
one's self. Sure that's 
ok but the chances 
of finding a sustained 
relationship drops 
as everyone protects 
one's self.

I wish the Student

get his facts straight. 
Both the SBA funded

New policy set 
for SBA buying 
beer 

by Jo Watson 

Friday's Board of Trustees meeting brought 
mixed news for students hoping for the Board's 
approval for continued Student Body Association 
funding of beer at SBA parties. 

The Board accepted the recommendation 
of the Student Affairs committee that there 
shall be no further purchases of alcohol at SBA 
parties with mandated student funds. 

Dean of Affairs Stuart Good stated that "It'd 
seem inappropriate for the college to approve 
the use of mandated studeent funds for the 
buying of alcoholic beverages. Further, he 
said, "the college cannot knowingly run the risk 
of liability if it approved the spending of college- 
controlled money to make alcohol available 
to students." 

First Vice President Jamie Noble said "I had 
a feeling that the Board would back Harmon 
if not make its own decision in light of the 
fact that it would not be good policy for the 
Board to back the students over presidnet Har- 
mon. 

Pigott said that the SBA officers are now 
"looking into a number of alternatives" to the 
direct funding of beer, ranging from "making 
the Student Association fee volunatary to taking 
up collections to buy beer, to making agreements 
with beer companies for them to sell beer at 
discounted rates at SBA parties." Noble indicated 
that the" funds no longer used to purchase alcohol 
will now be used to 'provide better quality 
entertainment' at future SBA parties." 

Pigott, who characterized the meeting as 
"very, very upbeat," said that the atmosphere 
of the meeting was generally relaxed and co- 
operative.

Plan for new co-ed dorm 
announced by Trustees 



by Tracey Miller 



Plans for the building of a new 
co-educational dorm to be built 
on Millsaps Campus were announced 
last week after the Board of Trustees 
meeting was held on Friday. 

Dean Stuart Good said that Goodman 
House will be available for residents 
by August 1985 with a premium 
cost involved because of the nature 
of the building and the facilities 
included. This cost is not yet 



determined, Good said. The dorm 
will be located on the southeast 
corner of campus where the former 
Children's Center was located. Good 
said it would be a frame brick veneer 
structure, colonial style with a center 
courtyard. There will be 32 units, 
housing 62 students and a resident 
director. 

The rooms will be small apartments 
minus the kitchen facilities, Good 
said. Each room will be 500 square 



oise in library a problem for students 



by Johanna Burkett 

The problems created 
by the crowded 
conditions on campus 
have made it 

increasingly difficult 
for the hallowed study 
grounds of the Millsaps 
library to serve their 
purpose as a quiet, 
controlled study environ- 
ment. 

According to Jim 
Parks, Millsaps-Wilson 
Library Head Librarian, 



the library is presently 
serving too many purpo- 
ses, functioning not 
only as a library but 
also as a student center. 
Parks said although 
some people are there 
with the genuine desire 
to study, "there are 
a lot of people who 
really want to be with 
friends and have a 
good time." 

Certain workers 
in the library are specif- 
ically assigned the 
duty of monitor to 



keep these visitors 
under control and 
keep the noise level 
down. 

Parks said the noise 
at times has been 
so great that students 
have left the library 
in search of a quieter 
place to study. The 
library workers are 
beginning to be seen 
as "parental figures" 
in their efforts to 
make the library a 
"good place to really 
settle in and study," 



said Parks. 

Because of these 
conditions, Parks said, 
the staff is unable 
to fully apply themselves 
to helping people use 
the library materials, 
which he said he feels 
is their real purpose. 
New concepts are 
still being introduced 
to improve the library's 
services, such as the 
new word processors, 
which will be installed 
soon. Parks said he 
feels, however, that 



the purpose of this 
and other new develop- 
ments could be defeated 
by the petty nuisances 
created by the present 
conditions. 

He said that to the 
library staff, the 
increase in student 
enrollment is evident, 
particularly during 
the prime study hours, 
Sunday through Thursday 
from 7p.m. to 10 p.m. 
Parks said the school

OPINION 



Groups should 
be more fair 



in games 

by Reed Hubbard 

If one were to define the purpose of 
intramural sports, he or she would most 
likely include the aspects of fun, social 
contact, competition, and fair play. 
There is no doubt in the minds of most 
that these are all important in the popu- 
larity and success of the intramural 
program. However, when athletic contests 
convert to mindless battles for domination, 
these are left on the wayside and feelings 
of bitterness, resent, and revenge intentions 
are substituted. This is evident mainly 
in the team sports between the various 
fraternities, sororities, and independ- 
ents on campus. 

Soccer and basketball are the two 

MAILBOX 

SAC RESPONSE 

Dear Editor, 

I was angered by 
a letter written to 
you by Debbie Jordan. 
She said the SAC (Stud- 
ent Action Committee) 
flyers were "blatant 



main sports in which this behavior is 
found. The fine line between aggressive 

playing and poor sportsmanship is crossed 
several times in these contests, often 
resulting in injury. The sad thing is that 
some individuals take pride in "taking 
out" a certain player as his teammates 
congratulate him. Is there that much 
bad blood between the greeks (and the 
organized independants) that injury and 
insult are necessary to justify or balance 
the final outcome? 

One-on-one IM sports such as chess 
and Trivial Pursuit do not see such behavior 
among contestants. It is true that these 

sports do not include physical contact, 
but there is also a much smaller amount 
of stress on greek affiliation. Most often, 
one is playing for personal satisfaction 
than to bring his fraternity closer to 
the coveted intramural trophy. 

As this intramural season gets into 
full swing, let us remember our original 
goals and not reduce the program to 

a mindless race for a temporary honor. 
The true virtue of the intramural program 
is the bringing together of people to 
have a good time and enjoy the comp- 



etition of others. Remembering this 
makes the victory that much sweeter 
and gives the loser a sense of some ac- 
complishment. This year, let's keep the 
fun in intramural play. 



Letters to the editor 
should be submitted 
to Box 15424 by Friday 
at noon. They should 
be short and to the 
point.

Cdleoe Press Service 



P&W IS OKAY 

Dear Editor, 

As Treasurer of 
the SBA, I would like 
to write an answer 
to the letter from 
David Page found 
also in this issue. Why 
wait a week to find 
thr real truth about 
the SBA and P&W! 
Yes David, I will also 
refute many of the 
charges contained 
in the SAC flier as 
being "blatent 
misinformation and 
tend to mislead". 
The first incorrect 
statement is in part 
four which states 
that the P&W is 
independent of the 
SBA. The P&W is 
dependent on the SBA 
for approval of its 
yearly budget at the 
beginning of the year, 
in addition to specific 
approval of each 
expenditure through 
the requirement of 
my signiture on all 
requisitions. Mone- 



tary control is definately 
not independence. 

Also the statement 
that "the Senate has 
no control over advertis- 
ing revenue" provides 
some problems for 
a true understanding 
of the monetary system 
of the SBA. The Senate 
does not approve indivi- 
dual expenses under 
general line items 
in the budget previously 
approved. This includes 
the advertising budget 
just as it also includes 
such things as Sympos- 
ium, Public Events, 
and activities accounts. 
The SBA approves 
individual expenses 
through the necessary 
signiture of the Tresurer. 
This does include the 
expense-paid trip 
that was approved 
both by me, SBA Treas- 
urer in conjunction 
with the other SBA 
officers and by Dean 
Good as a final check 
on any possibly 
irresponsible spending.

responds to 
student inquiries 



contributed by 
Dean Stuart Good 

At a recent forum 
in Franklin and Ezelle 
Halls at which President 
Harmon made himself 
available for questions 
about areas of concern 
to students, the 
following responses 
are given by the Office 
of Student Affairs. 

1. Why is not the S.B.A. 
budget printed in the 
P&W? The ' S.B.A. 
released the budget 
which was reviewed 
and prepared in today's 
paper. 

2. What is the cause 
of the humidity problem 
in Galloway B-l? A 
professional engineer 
was braught to the 
campus to investigate 
the problem. The system 
is not at fault but 
rather several 
mechanical/structural 
problems that his 
visit disclosed. Steps 
will be taken to 
ameliorate the problems , 
as quickly as possible. 
Student imput will 
be appreciated 
concerning changes 
in the conditions. 

3. Why is the track 



open on weekdays 
from 7:00 a.m. to 
7:00 p.m.? It is closed 
weekends because 
of the missuse the 
football field received 
by persons from on 
and off campus. The 
football field is 

maintained for football 
use. The track is opened 
when the PAC custodian 
arrives in the morning 
at 7:00 a.m. since 
the entrance that 
is commonly used 
is through the PAC 
Lobby rather than 
through the outside 
public gate. The building, 
hence entrance to 
the track, is closed 
at 7:00 p.m. at the 
present time because 
of safety precautionary 
measures. 

4. Why is the 

Sullivan-Harrell night 
entrance from the 
east side rather than 
the front main door? 
The building is not 
officially open beyond 
10 p.m. Seeing the 
front door open would 
give the impression 
that the building is 
generally open. The 
use of Sullivan-Harrell 



during the night time 
hours is extended 
for students who need 

access to laboratory 
facilities beyond normal 
classroom hours. Such 
use of the building 
does not substitute 
for study in the library 
facilities. The College 
is concerned about 
safety in the building 
during evening hours 
and urges students 
to be aware of the 
need to be precautious. 

5. Could the Board 
of Trustees' Committee 
on Student Affairs 
meet at a time meet 
at a time when students 
are not in class? Two 
years ago members 

of this Board Committee 
did come to the campus 
on a Thursday evening 
before the Friday 
Board meeting and 
held an open session 

with interested students. 
Although few students 
availed themselves 
of this opportunity, 
it may be possible 
under S.B.A. leadership 
to repeat more often 
a similar type of open 
meeting. 



Asian Student Organization 
forms on campus 



by Jo Watson 



A new organization 
is forming at Millsaps. 
The Student Senate 
last night approved 
the constitution of 
the Millsaps Asian 
student organization. 
Organized "to provide 
medium in which 
persons of Asian descent 
may socialize, to partic- 
ipate actively in the 
service of the commun- 
ity, and to establish 
an awareness and 
understanding of the 
unique heritage of 
the East," the 

association is open 
to all students expressing 
an interest these goals. 

The organization 
has already helped 
during the stay of 
the Taiwanese Goodwill 
Youth Mission in Jatkson 
by serving as ushers, 
host, and hostesses. 



The organization 
plans to sponsor lectur- 
ers and possibly a 
cultural fair, according 
to Theresa Quon, a 
main organizer of 



this group. 

The association 
will meet today at 
11:00 upstairs in the 
Student Union to elect 
officers for the year.

Weekend activities set 
for visiting alums

Millsaps Homecoming 
84' has something 
to offer everyone 
according to Bill Cam- 
bell, Director of Alumni 
Relations. For past 
Millsaps graduates 
there is a complete 
agenda full of activities 
beginning Friday. 
Along with Friday 
Forum, alums can 
participate in the 
Homecoming Golf 
Tournament or view 
the biographic photo- 
graphs of Eudora Welty 
in the art gallery.' 
Friday evening, Millsaps 
younger alumni can 
icipate in Home- 
Dming tennis or 
acquetball tournaments. 
For Millsaps graduates 
of 1935 or prior, the 
Early Days Club will 
also hold a reception 
and induction dinner 
Friday night. 
According to Campbell 
Early Days Club 
several hundred 
members and about 
seventy-five are expec- 
ted to attend the festi- 



vities on Friday. This 
year highlights the 
Class of '35 as they 
are inducted into the 
Early Days Club, having 
earned the privilege 
by being in the 50th 
year of their graduation. 

On Saturday, alumni 
will merge with students 
for a picnic in the 
bowl, a five-kilometer 
run, and the football 
game. Of special 
interest to both alumni 
and students is a dis- 
cussion to be held 
Saturday from 10:30— 
11:30 in AC 215. 
According to Campbell 
the discussion centers 
on the direction of 
the American political 
system in the 

twenty-first century. 
Millsaps professors 
John Quincy Adams, 
political science; Charles 
Sallis, history^ and 
Ed Ranck, adjunct 
economics professor, 
will discuss the topic 
from the perspective 
of their disciplines. 

Campbell commented, 
"The discussion topic 



may sound ominous 
but it should be 
especially interesting 
since this is an election 
year. We encourage 
all students to 

participate." 

Friday's activities 
for students also kick 
off Homecoming. 
Lunch will be served

takes a part. 



Spirit activities 
announced 

by Tracey Miller 

Spirit activities for Homecoming 1984 have 
been announced by Madolyn Robuck, Spirit 
Committee Chairman. This is the first year 
that the Spirit Committee has been active, 
said Robuck. "We are hoping to make Homecoming 
a little more diverse." 

Many changes have also been made, she said. 
There will no longer be floats because many 
organizations are "apprehensive about doing 
them this time of year." Hopefully by including 
a sign competition, more people with artistic 
talent can be involved. 

Also this year, the Homecoming court will 
be presented in a new fashion. Plans are to 
drive the court around the football field after 
halftime ceremonies are completed, Robuck 
said. 

The activies will include on Friday, 11:30a.m., 
an Air Band competition will begin. Groups 
will perform one song each, with a first and 
second place to be determined; at 12 noon, 
The Male Beauty Review will begin with contes- 
tants appearing and judged by appearance and 
questions. Judges will be the 1984 Millsaps 
Homecoming Court. 

On Saturday, a sign competition will begin 
at 11a.m. Signs must be at fieldside no later 
than 11a.m. to be judged before the game. Each 
organization and or individuals enter two signs. 

At halftime organization sign up will cease 
at the entrance to the game. No members will 
be allowed to sign up after the end of second 
quarter. Organizations are encouraged to wear 
jerseys, but this will not affect the spirit competi- 
tion. 

Sign competion and attendance will combine 
for an overall spirit winner to be esasaaged at 
halftime, Robuck said. 

Friday night there will be a CS's party with 
"Lady V" from WJMI from 10p.m. to 12a.m. 
A bon fire is scheduled for immediately after 
the CS's party. The cheerleaders will hold a 
pep rally at the bon fire. 

The weekend activities will round up at Primos 
Northgate Saturday night from 8p.m. to 12a.m. 
Cruisemasters will be the band.

Conservativism at Millsaps 

In an attempt to perhaps resolve the perennial debate over Millsaps 1 
conservativism, the P & W has assembled, to consider the issue, 
Professors Howard Bavender, Carl Brooking, and Robert McElvaine; 
and political science senior Beau Butler. Here are their views. 

The continuity of diversity 



I have been asked to comment on the 
changes at Millsaps since my days as 
a student. This is a difficult task to accom- 
plish, not only has the college changed, 
but my perspective of it has also changed. 
I will however relate my feelings on 
this subject. 

First, a few obvious quickies: 

Some things never change 
-Sam Knox's hair style 
-Ross Moore 

-The odor of Sullivan-Harrell Hall 

-The outside image of Millsaps as "liberal", 

the inside as "conservative" 

-The propensity of student government 

to reorganize 

-Acy 

Some things have changed drastically 

-The guard house and gates 

-The gym 

-The speed bumps 

-The won/lost record of the Basketball 
team 

-The operating deficit of the College 
-The nature of Arnold Ritchie's contribu- 
tion to the College 



On a more serious note, I was asked 
to comment on a swing from a "hot-bed 
of liberalism" to "conservativism". I 
distrust such labels— the world is rarely 
so easily divided into distinct camps. 
People and attitudes evolve over time — the 
change is rarely so distinct. 

A continuing important feature of 
Millsaps College is the diversity of opinion 



— Car/ Brooking 



Exposure to different ideas often leads 
to involvement and advocacy of a specific 
viewpoint. Advocacy sometimes results 
in failure and failure contributes to under- 
standing. It is difficult to conceive of 
a truly educated person who has not 
failed at some point and, because of 
that failure, questioned the reasons for 
that failure. 



"We have a problem when we decide that 
there is no room for diversity of opinion." 



within its community. A related feature 
has always been the college community's 
ability to accept the fact that reasonable 
people can disagree without either being 
"right" or "wrong". The freedom to express 
ones opinions has always been protected — 
this has not changed. 

Exposure to this diversity of opinion 
is a cornerstone in the educational process. 



At times we as a college community 
become too self assured — we believe 
that we are right and all others are wrong. 
At this point we have lost our diversity 
of opinion and our ability for self examina- 
tion. I hope that such is never permanent. 

The occasional conflict between the

Rebels in search of a cause? - Mcavame 



American history moves in cycles. 
Student attitudes seem to follow these 
national trends. In the 1930s and the 
1960s and early '70s, student activism 
reflected a nationwide concern with 
social issues. Periodically Americans 
turn toward the reform impulse, but 
then they tire of it. Students in the periods 
of reaction between the eras of social 
concern turn inward to personal concerns. 
As egoism grips the larger society, it 
is reflected on the campus. We find our- 
selves in such a period now, and the 
relative conservatism of Millsaps students 
is to be expected. 

While there are similarities between 
periods of reaction, they are not carbon 
copies of previous such eras. Students 
in the 1920s were staunchly conservative 
politically. They were culturally rebellious, 
though, striking out against what they 
saw as outmoded "Victorian morality." 
In the next major conservative era, the 
1950s, students were also politically 
conservative, but unlike their predecessors 
in the twenties, they were culturally 
conservative as well. Conformity was 
demanded of everyone in the fifties, 
and students were no exception. Yet 
beneath the surface calm of the "Ike 
Age" the pent-up rebelliousness of Ameri- 
can youth was seething. Many students 
in the fifties saw themselves like James 
lean, as rebels without a cause. 
When causes — civil rights, censorship, 
the war in Vietnam, and women's issues, 



crystallized in the 1960s, it was the 
students the "silent generation" of the 
fifties who became the leaders of the 
Movement. 

The Movement of the sixties combined 
the cultural rebellion of the twenties 
with the political, social, economic, and 
peace concerns of the thirties to produce 
one of the largest upheavals in American 
history. Students were center stage in 
this upheaval, and those at Millsaps played 
their parts. 

Yet there was a deep conflict at the 
heart of the sixties youth rebellion. The 



that bright, but I'm going to make sure 
that I get mine." 

Few like to admit that they are becoming 
selfish, so they seek to rationalize their 
attidtudes. They develop a sort of "social 
Calvinism" in which they think that God 
has chosen them to be successful and 
has condemned those who are not, so 
there is no need to be concerned about 
them. At its worst, this attitude results 
in standing Judeo-Christian ethics on 
their head. A President who does not 
attend church, is divorced, whose four 
children have been married seven times,

social consciousness of the age pushed 
the young toward concern for others, 
while the emphasis on personal freedom 
pointed toward the emergence of the 
"Me generation." As the causes of the 
sixties and early seventies faded, the 
narcissism the Baby Boomers came to 
the fore. Everyone started "looking out 
for Number One." Hippies gave way 
to Yuppies. 

What appears to be the dominant mood 
among students today — at Millsaps as 
well as around the nation — is the culmination 
of the egocentric thrust of the seventies: 
"the future in general may not be all 



and who has never seen his 1 8-month-old 
grandchild is hailed as the "Christian 
candidate" who is bringing back "family 
values." This "Christian candidate" is 
actually preaching the opposite philosopl 
of materialism and hedonism. He tells 
people that, like him, they needn't feel 
responsible for anything that happens. 
He makes people feel good about being 
selfish; he legitimizes all our baser impulses; 
he tells us we are not our brothers' keepers. 
And students who ought to be able to 
see through hypocrisy and sham fall 
prey to the hype.

Conservative by whose standards? —Beau Butler 



Our omniscently wise professors and 
the Democrats have been busily pontifica- 
ting thatwe are seeing a generation of 
conservatives concerned only with the 
acquisition of wealth, the accumulation 
of personal power, befert of any sense 
of social obligation, and in general churlish 
automatons with the cerebral capacity 
of small soaodishes. 

I find it rather strange that these sociol- 
ogists have so quickly forgotten the 
youths of the '60s. Oh sure, they all protes- 
ted against American imperialism in 
Vietnam and read lots of wholesome 
Lenin & Marx. However, the only impres- 
sion I have of these creatures is that 
celebration of mindless hedonism, marijua- 
na smoking, and rampant, open copulation 
called Woodstock. The only political 
worth here is that these miscreants 
were attempting to actualize Hobbes's 
te of nature. 



What gives here? It seems to me that 
what today's liberal has forgotten is 
that the 60's produced nothing of substance 
for my generation to hold on to. We 
might enjoy some of the symbols of that 
generation: the Beatles, drugs(for some), 
and sexual freedom. But are we to be 
castigated because our hedonism is civilly 
confined to the bedroom & because we 
don't window dress it with some rationali- 



zation that free love will stop Soviet 
expansion in the Third World and rid 
our nation of the blight of poverty? Please, 
give me a break. 

The liberal also chafes because the young 
conservatives have spotted the hypocrisy 
of so much of what he spews out. Instead 
of constructing a society in which govern- 
ment is the facilitator,supplying those 
minimal services and insuring the availabil- 
ity of opportunities which would permit 
'individuals to work for themselves , 



which my generation feels. We stand 
for a renewed affirmation of the values 
and culture that have shaped and produced 
the West, which is not to say that we 
chauvanistically disdain the valid contribu- 
tions and identities of other cultures 
and civilizations. Nor is it an excuse 
to forcibly import the West to other 
parts of the globe. This type of buoyantly 
optimistic weltanschaaung probably 
seems simplistic, and God knows what 
else, to those reared on some Sontagian 



"My generation stands for a renewed affirmation of 
the values that have shaped and produced the West

and in which rewards would be allocated 
on the basis of effort, decency, and compe- 
tence, and in which the individual main- 
tains his dignity while displaying concern 
for his fellow jinstead of this, we have 
gotten an immoral and bloated bureaucracy 
which doles out something for nothing, 
which discriminates against those in 
actual need, and sets up the state as 
the ultimate arbiter of man's destiny. 

Finally, I think that the modern liberal 
cannot stand the unabashed patriotism 



outpouring of blind hatred towards not 
simply structural injustices but towards 
the system of the West itself. I apologize 
for my myopia, but I can't have a lot 
of respect for a malcontent enjoying 
the benefits of freedom of speech and 
conscience who claims that "Mozart, 
Shakespeare, the emancipation of women, 
parliamentary democracy et.al., don't 
redeem what this particular civilization

No Camelot, just conservativism -^Howard Bavender 



Conservatism is in. Name brand clothes 
and sports cars are where it's at. Big 
bucks are the bottom line of education. 
The Golden Horde of the Age of Reagan 
has swept over Millsaps. Sixty-two Young 
Republicans turn out for an opening 
night organizing rally; six for a Young 
Democrats rally. Jesse Jackson comes 
to call and President Harmon reels. He 
needn't have. Our conservative-cum-Repub- 
licanism is impermeable — like lead resisting 
x-ray bombardment. 

W.S. Gilbert (of the Gilbert & Sullivan) 
put it like this in Iolanthe: 

I am an intellectual chap, 

And think of things that would astonish 

you. 

I often think it comical 

How nature always does contrive 

That every boy and every girl 

That's born into the world alive, 

Is either a little Liberal, 

Or else a little Conservative! 

Millsaps "little Liberals" have ALWAYS 
been outnumbered by our "little Conserva- 
tives" by anywhere from eight to one 
to ten to one which is the point we are 
at right about now. So it is that Millsaps 
students have stood solidly with the 
likes of Goldwater, Nixon, and now Reagan, 
all in the name of conservatism. This 
generation of conservatives is probably 
the most visible in living memory. One 
simply can't miss them. They have pizazz! 

An Old Wive's tale that has long persisted 
in some parts of Mississippi and even 



among some alumni who should have 
known better is that Millsaps in some 
mad infatuation with the New Deal and 
its degenerate offspring (the socialistic 
kind) was a "hotbed of liberalism." 

The liberalism myth of Millsaps is 
a little like Camelot: it never was but 
it hangs on anyway. When it came to 
political conditioning the best Millsaps 
was likely to accomplish was to put a 
humanitarian gloss on political primita- 
vism. Not even the wildest, politically, 



The line expressed in their classroom 

recitations is simple, direct and unchanged, 
really, since the days of Calvin Coolidge 
and Herbert Hoover. Hard work does 
it. And when you get it you for certain 
are entitled to keep it and get more. 
Welfare cheats are the inevitabnle excre- 
scence of liberal thinking. So is crime 
in the streets. When it comes to the 

rest of the world just make sure our 

capacity for devastation exceeds theirs — Darth 



"Conservativism is in. The Golden Horde of the Age 
of Reagan has swept over Millsaps." 



among us ever amounted to more than 
corporal's guard in numbers. The problem 
with them was that they excited attention 
far beyond what their numbers merited. 
The worst they ever accomplished was 
to put gray hairs in the heads of Millsaps 
presidents answering telephone calls— often 
late at night— from irate constituents 
certain we were a terminus of an under- 
ground of the subversive apparatus of 
an unmentionable name. 

The conservative fad on the Millsaps 
campus now is nothing more or less than 
what is going on in the rest of the country. 



Vader and his Evil Empire, of course. 

The new young conservative is an amalgam 

of the culture of his conservative forbears; 
they are the spriitual progeny of Coolidge 
and Hoover, animated by the narcisstic 
freedom that went with the sixties but 
without that era's attempt at social 
activism. 

So you see, politically we are right 
in step with the nation. Let all for whom 
this news is balm of Gilead rejoice as 
we prepare for four more years of Ronnie 
and Nancy.

CO-ED DORM, 
from p. 1 

feet, twice the size of existing dorm 
rooms at Millsaps, said Leonard 
Poison, Building and Grounds Supervis- 
or. Each room will have two rooms 
and a private bath. The kitchenette 
areas will not be completed and 
residents will have to be on the 
college meal plan, Good said. He 
also said that the rooms would be 
furnished with movable dorm-type 
furniture. 

Good said that the space would 
be assigned on a priority basis with 
upperclass men and women who 
have lived on Millsaps campus before 
receiving priority. "No student who 
; had an apartment off campus 



can decide to live in these 
apartments," he said. The ratio 
of men to women in the dorm will 
depend on space requirements, Good 
said. 

Good said that the general college 
regulations will prevail in the dorm 
as far as visitation rules, etc. go, 
but it will function as Sanders does 
with an open entrance to members 
of the college community. There 
will be no paging system or reception 
area. 

Poison said that the concept of 
Goodman hall on campus could influ- 
ence other dorms. "If the concept 
works out with the privacy of size 
and the premium atmosphere, this 
could be an influence on other dorms 
to be built in the future."

advocates of the Liberal Arts and the 
School of Management when viewed 
in this context should be considered 
healthy. We have a problem only when 
we decide that there is no room for diversi- 
ty of opinion. 

One final observation. Students have 
always been the bedrock of our college 
community. The metamorphosis of students 
from freshmen to graduates is truly 
amazing and a joy to behold. I am con- 
vinced that an exposure to this diversity 
of opinion at Millsaps is the key to that 
process. Our every effort should be to 
preserve such an atmosphere, where 
tudents can observe, question, and develop. 



Slvaine, cont. from p. 6 



campuses have seen student hecklers 
again. But they are a far cry from those 
of the 1960s. Then those who engaged 
in disruptions were opposing the people 
in power who were carrying on what 
the dissenters perceived as an unjust 
war. Today's disrupters support those 
in power and heckle the underdog, the 
person out of power who seeks to assist 
the downtrodden. 

But the cyclical nature of American 
history has not come to a halt. The course 
of the cycle seems to run: idealism, 
disillusion, despair, cynicism, egoism. 
Students today, like those of other generations, 
will soon tire of the emptiness of self 
centeredness. Deep down, I believe that 
they yearn to return to idealism and 
social concerns. They are, perhaps, rebels 
in search of a cause. It is my expectation 
that before the current decade is over 
a new swing in the direction of social 
concern and activism will be evident 
on this campus and others, and in the 
nation at large. 



Western civilization is, as far as my 
generation is concerned, the worst except 
for all the others. 

In summary, I wish to quote from that 
well-known right-wing radical, John 
Stuart Mill, a passage I think sums up 
the "conservativism", which is really 
liberalism, of myself and my peers: 
"The worth of a state, in the long run, 
is the worth of the individuals composing 
it; and a State which dwarfs its men, 
in order that they may be more docile 
instruments in its hands even for beneficial 
purposes, will find that...no great thing 
can be accomplished; and that the perfec- 
tion of machinery to which it has sacrificed 
everything, will in the end avail to nothing 
for want of the vital power which, in 
order that the machine might work more 
smoothly, it has preferred to banish." 



Given the current mood on campuses, 
as well as in the nation, such an appeal 
to self interest thinly veiled in self righteousn ess 
is popular. In the thirties and the sixties, „ 

students often identified with the downtrodden cutler » cont - from P- ' 
and the underdogs. Not so today. To has wrought upon the world. The white 

Americans today (and most students race is the cancer of human history." 

seem to be no exception) it is not how (Guess we all need to live under a Gulag 

you play the game that matters, but or an Idi Amin to find the true meaning 

only whether you win or lose. of human justice and dignity, huh Susan?)

JEFFREY OSBORNE'S DON'T STOP 

What do George Duke, Pat Benetar, James 
Ingram, Debra Laws and Kenny Loggins have 
in common? They back up Jeffrey Osborne 
on his newest release "Don't Stop." But don't 
rush out to buy the album for this reason; they 
sing the worst song on the album. However, 
if you like the vocals of Jeffrey (a mixture 
of Peabo Bryson and James Ingram) then you 
will love this rhythm-packed album. 

"Don't Stop," "Let Me Know," and "Crazy 
'Bout Cha" have the vocal excitement you have 
grown to love. He is backed up by top notch 
instrumentation including "real strings" and 
a drum machine in several songs. Even though 
it sounds a lot like his last album, it is different 
enough to add to yourcollection.

JANET JACKSON'S DREAM STREET 

The first thing I noticed about Janet Jackson's 
new album is that she wears two gloves. Yes, 
there is a Jackson who doesn't go out of his 
or her way to be unusual. She doesn't have to. 
Janet Jackson's voice is just as outstanding 
as Michael's; in fact it resembles it in many 
ways. That may be the only thing she has going 
for her on her recent production, "Dream Street." 

Don't get me wrong; this is a "party album," 
but nothing more. It has plenty of rhythm (what 
else would you expect from a Jackson?) but 
it all sounds similar. The only song that sticks 
out as a potential hit is "All My Love to You," 
which sounds exactly like a song off of Janice 
Jackson's last album. 

In contrast to Jeffrey Osborne's "Don't Stop," 
which was produced by George Duke, "Dream 
Street" was poorly produced. Have you ever 
heard of an album without a slow song? You 
won't hear much from this one either, unless 
you buy it.

Majors rout Baptist U. 



by Barton Thrasher 

The Millsaps Majors' 
football team wanted 
and expected a big 
win Saturday afternoon 
against Baptist Universi- 
ty. They got that and 
more. The Majors 
won the game 55-0-not 
exactly a close contest. 
It was a game in which 
everything seemed 
to go right. Witness 
the seven different 
Millsaps' players who 
scored touchdowns 
on the afternoon. 
To say the least, a 
lot of Majors had a 
chance to play in the 
game. 

In the first quarter, 
tailback Edmond Donald 
scored from one yard 



out after having had 
an eighteen yard run 
during the drive to 
set up the touchdown. 
The second quarter 
was all Majors'-weren't 
they all-as Millsaps 
racked up twenty-seven 
more points to establish 
a 34-0 halftime lead. 
Donald scored again 
from twelve yards. 
On the day, the 
Ail-American tailback 
would run for 112 
yards and two 

touchdowns and pass 
for fourteen yards 
and one touchdown. 
The pass came on 
a halfback pass in 
the second quarter 
to Robert Dupler - for 
a fourteen yard touch- 
down. Doug Burgess 
and Steve Fuson, each 



had touchdowns of 
three yards and one 
yard, respectively. 
Fuson's touchdown 
was set up by defensive 
standout Alan Andrew's 
blocking of a Baptist 
Univ. punt. 
The second half 

was also dominatd 
by the Majors as they 
slammed in three 
more touchdowns 
before the game was 
over. On the first 
touchdown, Kelvin 
McLaurin (9 carries 
for 77 yards) scampered 
thirty-two yards for 
a Millsaps score. The 
Majors, at this point, 
were playing control 
football and not trying 
to embarass the home-

Sugar tastes sweet 



by Matt Kaye 



Approximately halfway through 
the season, the Southeastern Confer- 
ence boasts no clear cut powers, 
but instead has several punching 
bags climbing off the canvas. It 
looks like a five team race between 
Auburn, Georgia, Florida, LSU and 
Vanderbilt. 

The War Eagles have the easier 
task before them. Auburn's next 
opponents are toughies in Florida 
State and Georgia Tech, but they 
are both non-conference. Therefore 
if they lose, it has no conference 
bearing. Only Florida and Georgia 
stand in the Bo Jackson-less Eagles

Florida has played excellent ball 



amist much controvercy. The interfer- 
ence may have caused the Gator 
players to band closer together. 
Their only relief is on the field. 
Blocking Florida's path is Auburn, 
Georgia and Kentucky. Their tie 
with LSU may cause problems along 
with probation possibilities. 

The hardest path belongs to Georgia. 
Their schedule includes Ole Miss, 
Vanderbilt, Florida and Auburn. 
A team of unsung heroes, the Bulldogs 
do things the old fashioned way 
with hard work and defense. 

No surprises so far, right? Now, 
let's turn our attention toward the 
LSU Tigers and the Vanderbilt Com- 
modores.

Purcell says game will be close Texas fraternity 

discovers oil on 
property 

College Press Service 

College Station, TX- "We're obviously very 
pleased," understates William Powell. 

He has reason to be. Powell's fraternity, the 
Texas A&M chaper of Sigma Chi, just had its 
own oil well become a producer. 

An oil company proposed drilling some 150 
yards from the fraternity house last school 

year, and a Houston firm, INEXCO, eventually 
bought the drilling rights. INEXCO struck oil 
in the well the first week of September. 

No one at INEXCO or Sigma Chi is certain 
how much the well will be worth, though it 
currently is producing about 483 barrels of 
oil a day. At current prices, it could be worth 
a gross amount of $13,000 a day. 

Proceeds, of course, would be split among 
INEXCO, middlemen, Sigma Chi headquarters 
and the campus Sigma Chi Corporation, which 

owns the land on which the well was drilled. 

"It's not like we're instant millionaires," notes 
Andy Beaky, the house's former treasurer. "We'll 
get royalties each month, but that will go toward 
building a new house." 

In the meantime, the oil strike and well have 
other uses for Sigma Chi members. 

"During rush it was a great topic of interest," 
Beaky reports. "At night parties, we put up 
lights all over it for fun." 



by Barton Thrasher 

This Saturday the 
Millsaps Majors host 
the Austin College 
garoos for Home- 
coming '84. In order 
to get some insight 
into the context, we 
interviewed senior 
offensive guard from 
Tupelo, Tom Purcell. 
Purcell has been a 
four year starter for 
the Majors. 

P&W: What's your 
outlook for the game? 
Purcell: Last year, 
Austin beat us handily 
45 to 20. They have 
a lot of returning 
slayers off that team, 
it ought to be one 
of our tougher games 
this year. 

P&W: How did they 
look in the game films? 
Purcell: As strong, 
if not stronger, than 
last year's team. 



P&W: What are their 
strenghts as a team? 
Purcell: Defense 
is their strongest suit. 
Their line is very big 
and very physical 
on both offense and 
defense. Austin is 
a Division II school, 
so they give scholarships 
and thus get bigger 
players. On offense, 
we need to beware 
of their receivers, 
especially Joaquin 
Johnson. He burnt 
us long several times 
last year. 

P&W: Has Homecoming 
made this year special? 
Purcell: Yea, it really 
has. Homecoming 
is always a special 
game, but we are 
also seeking revenge 
for last year's whipping. 
P&W: How has the 
week of practice been 
so far? 

Purcell: Very positive. 
We had a good win

last week (55-0), so 

we want to continue 

on the winning track. 

P&W: What is our 

injury situation? Are 

we healthy enough 

to handle the Kangaroos? 
Purcell: We've had 

many injuries to players 
on the offensive and 
defensive lines that 
will hinder our play. 
We had to make some 
minor adjustments, 
but we feel we are 
definitely tough enough 
to handle them. 
P&W: Are we going 
to have to play control 
football to win? 
Purcell: We go into 
every game hoping 
to control the ball 
by controlling both 
the offensive and 
defensive lines of 
scrimmage. So yes, 
we're hoping we'll 
be able to do this 
against Austin. 
P&W: Any predictions? 
Purcell: It should 
to be a really close 
game. I 'hope every- 
one will come to the 
game because it will 
be exciting and our 
fans might swing the 
momentum to the 
Majors.

focused on the following 
statement: "the Publica- 
tions Committee was 
established to protect 
the newspaper from 
the student government 
and the administration." 
That happened to 
be a quote from Dr. 
Austin Wilson, faculty 
advisor to the Publica- 
tions Committee. 

Debbie also distorted 
the truth. The Student 
Senate does not control 
the expenditures of 
the P&W advertising 
fund. If it did, Debbie's 
friend, Tracey Miller 
and the staff member 



would not have received 
an expense-paid trip 
to a publications conven- 
tion that was paid 
through this account. 

Debbie stated that 
a majority of Senators 
approved the P&W 
budget. They did, 
however, a number 
of Senators had 
deep-seated reservations 
against it. One of 
these senators and 
about 10 students 
formed the Student 
Action Committee 
to raise questions 
about the use of their 
money in the P&W 
budget. After all, 
don't they have a right 



to make sur<; that 
their money is being 
spent wisely? 

The last thing that 
the students need 
is the distortion or 
omission of facts to 
muddle an already 
complicated situation. 
Sincerly, 
David Page

sed by upgrading the

This, Parks said, would

more as a place for 
quiet, concentrated 
study.

"deep-seated reservations

Senators feelings about 
the P&W budget. This 
year for the first time, 
I submitted the budget 
for approval line-by-line 
instead of in its entirety 
for the sole purpose 
of providing time 
for discussion in front 
of the Senate. There 
was discussion with 
the previous question 
being moved in due 
time ending debate 
which was the 

responsibility of the 
Senators, themselves. 
If they didn't like

not, it is their fault 
they are not happy.

out the scoring, tailback 
Trace Baughn plowed

On the day, the Majors'

He didn't have a chance 
at a field goal as the 
Majors scored touchdows 
on every possession 
except two. The offense 
totalled 418 yards 

and the defense allowed 
just 187. All in all, 
it was a fun game 
for the Majors. As

knows, a team needs 

a breather every now

Midterm grades 
allow time for 
improvement 

by Johanna Burkett 

It's mid-semester here at Millsaps: time to 
ask once again that burning question, "What 
are mid-term grades for?" 

The official word from Dean King, Dean of 
Academics, is that the purpose of mid-term 

grades is "to give students a chance to see where 
they stand," allowing time for improvement. 
Not only do students receive a copy of their 
grade report, but students' advisors and the 
Student Affairs Office do also. 

Mid-semester grades will be available in the 
Records Office hopefully during the last week 
of October.

OPINION 



Yes, freshmen, 
there are mid 

terms 



by Tracey Miller 

It's that time again: Mid-semester. 
The look of fear on every freshman's 
face is obvious as they scramble to the 
library for the first time this semester. 
Overheard about the library from a fresh- 
man the other day: "I didn't know how 
nice it really was." 

Surprising reactions for this time of 
year? Not really. Once students get 
excited about mid-term break, they 
have to realize that first mid-term tests 
must be taken. Mid-term is a time to 
sit back and review your performance 
during the past weeks, and possibly reesta- 
blish your priorities between academics 
and social activities. 



The official word, as reported on page 
one, is that mid term grades do not go 
home. In fact, you don't even have to 
pick them up. So freshmen, you can all 
-breathe a sigh of relief. 

From someone who is facing the mid- 
term experience for the seventh time, 
study enough to get through your tests 
first, then enjoy your fall break. 



Open houses 
a good idea 



The idea of an open house is always 
a good one to reacquaint alumni, parents, 
students, and even administration with 
the Millsaps community, but it is also 
one that has been traditionally taken 
up only by fraternities and sororities. 
This homecoming, however, Franklin 
Dormitory held a successful open house 
and hosted many parents, President Har- 
mon, Dean Good and other students who 
were apparently very impressed with 



the effort put out by Resident Director 
Lyn Cheney and the resident assistants 
and students. 

Each wing was responsible for part 
of the food served at the open house 
and were responsible for having representa- 
tives to greet the visitors. Many students 
also left their rooms open for viewing 
by parents and other visitors. 

The event served as a time for parents 
to see Millsaps and more specifically, 
dorm life, in a more relaxed atmosphere 
than the beginning of school provides. 
One parent was overheard saying that 
the open house provided a good excuse 
for parents to visit their children without 
appearing to be the "concerned parents." 

Perhaps the tradition should be extended 
to more living areas of campus so as 
to include all students in their daily 
living environment, as many of Franklin's 
visitors enjoyed the experience.

BEAU'S SYNTAX 

Dear Editor, 

I am never ceased 
to be amazed with 
my good friend, Beau 
Butler. While Beau 



is a great advocate 
of the conservative 
mood we are experienc- 
ing in today's world, 
you could never tell 
by the way he writes! 
It is after reading 
his latest diatribe 
on our human condition 
that I find myself 



particularly amused. 

Within his symposium 
article entitled "Conser- 
vative By Whose Stand- 
ards?" (P&W Vol. 103,

p. 7) Mr. Butler has

mammoth proportion. 
After tackling this 
maze of nouns, adject- 
ives, and huge words, 
I can't help but feel 
all the recent criticism 
towards the P&W 
staff is unwarranted. 
If the staff could find 
it in its budget to 
cover the cost of the 
ink alone used to print 
this obesity, they 
deserve all the support 
in the world! 

The sentence is 
located in the article's 
second column, first 
paragraph. It begins, 
"Instead of constructing 
a society in which 
government is the 
facilitator..." (It should 
read "Instead of 
constructing huge 
sentences consisting 
of 95 words, eight 
commas, one semi-colon 
and seven words with 
four or more syllables, 
give us a break!") 

Here's my offer: 
Can anyone diagram

SPIRIT COMPETITION 

Dear Editor, 

I thought the 
Homecoming 1984 
festivities were fun 
and well -planned this

But one thing I thin 
the Spirit committee 
needs to put a little 
more work into is 
the judging of the

This year, the Pi Kappa 
Alpha's won the spirit 
competition by just 
putting up two signs

the same amount of

Sheldahl develops ethics code 



Millsaps Press Release 

Terry Sheldahl, 
associate professor 
of accounting at Millsaps 
College, recently 
developed a new code 
of ethics for the Insti- 
tute of Certified Finan- 
cial Planners, a 16,000 
member professional 
organization. 

Sheldahl worked 
-n the project in consul- 
ation with Tim C. 
Medley, chairman 
of the Ethics Committee 
of the Institute of 
Financial Planners 
and owner of local 
financial planning 
firm Medley and Compa- 
ny. Together, Sheldahl 

and Medley redefined 
the general policies 
of the organization 
and developed a system 
of enforcing these 
guidelines. 

The Institute * of 
ertified Financial 
Planners adopted the 



code of ethics during 
their annual conference 
on Sept. 30. Sheldahl 
will continue to assist 
Medley in developing 
a guideline of "Practical 
Interpretations" which 
will assist members 
in applying the code 
on a daily basis. 

Sheldahl received 

the B.A. degree from 
Drake University and 



the B.B.A. degree 
from Armstrong State 
College. He later 
earned the Ph.D. from 
University of Alabama 
and Johns Hopkins 
University, having 
written his dissertation 
on codes of ethics. 
Sheldahl came to Mill- 
saps College in 1982, 
where he teaches 
accounting in the 
school of Management.

A heartened Mondale turns to students 



Millsaps Press Release 



Heartened by what supporters term 
exceptional" and "very receptive" student 
audiences at several recent campus 
appearances, the Mondale campaign 
is trying to woo the elusive student vote 
with a renewed vigor, campaign organizers 
report. 

The new strategy, however, aims at 
a sector of the population that rarely 
votes, and that seems to be swinging 
toward President Ronald Reagan, observers 
point out. 

Moreover, the head of the nation- 
wide College Democrats group thinks 
much of the campaign's new student 
focus is "hogwash," adding the Mondale 
troops in reality are not doing anything 
different from what they've been doing 
for months. 

Nevertheless, "Mondale is definitely 
interested in getting our message to 
(college students)," says Gary Brickman, 
national youth coordinator for the 
Mondale/Ferraro campaign. 

"Mondale has been speaking on quite 
a few college campuses, and he's really 
been getting a lot better response than 
earlier on in the campaign," Brickman 
claims. 

As a result, he says, "we're starting 
o focus on the campus vote and 
get-out-the-vote programs." 

The strategy change, Brickman says 
came after Mondale's September speech 
dt the University of Southern California, 
which was punctuated by repeated heckles 
and jeers from Reagan supporters. 

But the hecklers only provoked Mondale

into making one of his best speeches, 
Brickman says, injecting some excitement 
and controversy into the appearance. 

National press coverage of the event 
also helped boost Mondale's campus image, 
particularly after several of the hecklers 
admitted they were part of an organized 
effort to interrupt the speech, Brickman 
adds. 

Although an October 5th New York 
Times Poll shows President Reagan heavily 
favored among college-aged voters, 
Mondale supporters say the USC speech 
gave new life to his campus campaign. 

The following week Mondale got another 
unexpected lift during a well-received 
speech at George Washington and got 
such an outstanding reception," Brickman 
says, "it really helped pick up" Mondale's 
interest in the student vote. 

As a result of the USC and George 
Washington speeches, "Mondale's campus 
campaign is a little more visible now, 
and we're picking up (the campus campaign) 
as we get closer to the election." 

Among other things, Mondale will 
squeeze more campus appearances into 
his schedule in the weeks before the 
election, and send other Democratic 
leaders to campaign for him. 

Mondale headquarters recently released 
press releasaes for National Student 
Voter Registration Day, asserting "students 
will vote in significant numbers to put 
an end to Reagan's underestimate of 
your generation." 

"Your generation wil decide this race," 
.one of Mondale's prepared statements 
said. "For Ronald Reagan to think that 



you don't care about your own 
futures — care about cuts in loans for 
education and most of all about nuclear 
war — is sheer arrogance." 

Former presiedential candidates Gary 
Hart, George McGovern, Jesse Jackson, 

and Alan Cranston — who themselves 
garnered sizable campus followinags 
during their campaigns — will be speaking 
on Mondale's behalf at a number of schools, 
Brickman says, although he couldn't 
list any specific campuses. 

Jackson and Hart already have been 
courting the student vote for Mondale 
at a number of recent campus visits, 
however. 

"young people are really beginning 
to look at the issues," says Bill Morton, 
president of the College Democrats 
in Washington, D.C. 

"And Mondale's speech at George 
Washington was a turning point for his 
campus campaign," he adds. 

But Morton says the talk of a great 
new drive to get the college vote is 
"absolute hogwash," a ploy to get more 
media attention. 

Mondale's campus vote movement 
has been in full swing for months, Morton 
says, relying on voter registration efforts, 
speeches by Hart and Jackson, and campus 
appearances by Mondale's son and daughter 
at such schools as the State University 
of New York at Albany, Cal-Santa Barbara 
and Texas. 

Vice Presidential camdidate Geraldine 
Ferraro, too, has campaigned at Memphis 
State, Vanderbilt, and Akron, among 
others.

Majors defeat Austin 
College 24-3 



by Barton Thrasher 



The Millsaps Majors 
defeated the Austin 
College Kangaroos 
Saturday by the score 
of 24 to 3. The large 
Homecoming crowd 
saw a fine football 
game in which the 
Majors almost played 
to perfection. We 
did everything we 
wanted to do coming 
into the game. We 
controlled the lines 
of scrimmage, kept 
the ball mainly on 
the ground, and shut 
down their potent 
passing attack. 

The Majors came 
out strong as the offense 
rolled 98 yards in 
eight plays to score 
the game's first touch- 
down. Fullback Kelvin 
McLaurin broke up 
the middle for the 
five yard touchdown. 
The drive was sparked 
by brilliant runs by 
McLaurin and 
Donald and a 
pass play to 
John Wells. 

The Majors 
again in the 
quarter with 
yard scoring 
Quarterback 



Edmond 
14 yard 
receiver 

struck 
second 
a 55 
drive. 
Steve 



Jfuson took the ball 



in from the one yard 
line on a quarterback 
sneak. Again the Majors 
drove the ball with 
ease due to the 
determined blocking 
of the Majors* offensive 
line. Austin's offense 
was stifled most of 
the first half because 
of the tremendous 
pressure applied by 
the Major's defense. 
With big noseguard 
David Spight leading 
the charge, the Majors 
sacked Austin's quarter- 
back for several big 
losses. The secondary 
played well also, holding 
Austin to just 13 of 
39 passes and four 
interceptions (three 
by Billy Wise) on the 
game. The Majors 
led 14 to 0 at halftime. 

The second half 
was again dominated 
by the Majors as they 
extended their lead 
to 17 to 0 with a Kevin 
Callison 30 yard field 
goal. Callison, also 
a member of the Millsaps 
soccer team, aided 
the effort with the 
field goal, three extra 
points, and some very 
deep kick offs. In 
the fourth quarter,

Where are they now? 



Kaye 




As far as Division I schools are 
concerned, has any state been plaqued 
by more hapless and inept quarter- 
backs in the last 20 years than the 
Magnolia State? I think not. 

Let's begin with Ole Miss. Since 
1965, bright spots for the Rebels 
have included Archie Manning and 
John Fourcode (though his record 
doesn't show it). Only two people. 
That leaves us with a bunch of "win- 
ners" like Shug Chumler, Bobby 
Garner, Jim Lear, Tim Ellis, Norris 



Weese, along with Kill Malouf. And 
people wonder why the Rebels have 
floundered for so long- 
Quarterbacks in StarkviUe are 
few and far between. The Dean's 
List at State includes Rocky Felker 
and Dave Marlar. These guys are 
the top of the heap yet they weren't 
that impressive either. Some may 
ask, "What about John Bund?" Well, 
before you do, just think about it 
for a minute and you'll remember 
why. Other distinguished Bulldog 
signal callers include melvin and

The Millsaps Majors soccer team battled 
the University of New 'Orleans to a one to one 
tie Sunday* The tie moved the Majors record 
to 2-6-2, Millsaps opened the scoring early 
in the first half on a goal by David Forsythe 
with the assist going to freshman Michael Mor- 
land. The goal was Forsythe's fifth of the year. 

Millsaps 1 lead was short-lived as UNO scored 
minutes later to tie the game at one to one. 
Neither team could muster any offense during 
the rest of regulation and the game went into 
overtime. The scoring drought continued for 
both teams in the two overtimes that followed 
and the game ended in a one to one stalemate. 

The Majors next game is at home on Friday, 
Oct. 19 f against Maryville, TN. Millsaps plays 
again at home on the following Monday against 
intracity rival Tougaloo.

REVIEWS 



Devo is back- 
shout it out ! 



by Reed Hubbard 



Fans of Devo, the spudboys from Ohio, have 
been asking one basic question for the past 
year: "Where is Devo? 11 After having faithfully 
put out one album per year F the band apparently 
took a break. The only news from them has 
been a video cassette titled WeVe All Devo. 
Last week, however, without warning, Devo 
launched a surprise attack and released Shout, 
their latest album on Warner Brothers records. 

Famous (or infamous) for their diversity and 
freshness, Devo does not let up on this latest 
release. No lyrics are enclosed and the credits 
are very limited, but Devo presents its own 
style of music with never a dull moment. Selected 
cuts include a happy tune called "Here To Go," 
a unique, synthetic "The Satisfied Mind," and 
what is most likely the most unusual cover 
of the Jimi Hendrix Experience's "Are You 
Experienced." This album is not all it should 
be, though. A less radical, more content Devo 
seems to have set in. Where is the 
tongue-in-cheek humor characteristic of early 
Devo (as evidenced in "Freedom of Choice," 
"Jocko Homo," "Slap Your Mammy," or 
"Mechanical Man," all from previous releases)? 

Judged solely on itself, Shout is an average 
to above average album with no real low spots. 
When one compares it to past antics from the 
Ohio quintet, a sharp deterioration in the key 
Devo elements is obvious. Let's hope next time 
that we'll see a return to the days of energy 
domes, spudring collars, yellow suits, 3-D glasses, 
and the question of "Are we not men?" 

We're all Devo.

Granted, Reggie Collier was okay, 
but he was merely a wide receiver 
or defensive back playing because 
no one else was capable. How about 
Davey Sellers and Robert Ducksworth

Next semester,

Chair of Southern 
Studies will be held

Professor of Religion 
at the University of 
Florida, said Dean 
Robert King. 

King said Hill is

at the University of 
North Carolina. 

Hill will be teaching 
two courses in the

Thursday, he will be 
teaching "Religion 
in Southern Culture." 
According to King, 
this class is directed 
to the general student, 



and is about their 
own culture and . the 
part of religion in 
that culture. The other 
course he will be teach-

Adult Degree Program students 
share "Millsaps experience" 



by Tracey Miller 



As students begin to get back 
into the routine of classes after 
fall break, many of the adult faces 
around campus have begun to look 
more familiar. 

This fall 51 adults enrolled in 
the Millsaps College Adult Degree 
Program. The average age of these 
adults working towards a Bachelor 
of Liberal Studies degree is 36.91 
and they are enrolled in a total 
of 258 classroom hours this semester 
at Millsaps. Some degree-seeking 
ts will take some 10 years to 



get the degree. 

The structure of the ADP, said 
Harrilyn Sallis, Director of the Adult 
Degree Program, involves an introduc- 
tory course entitled "Introduction 
to Liberal Arts" and a curriculum 
that has been termed "very flexible." 
The introductory seminar has as 
its objectives orienting adult learners, 

"to the academic community as 
a set of structured opportunities 
for learning and the certification 
of learning; enabling adults to acquire 
or sharpen the basic skills required

IFC disc 



new fraternity 




by Kelly Wilford 



After a lengthy 
discussion at a recent 
meeting, the Inter- 
fraternity Council 
at Millsaps has come 
to an agreement to 
not encourage another 
national fraternity 
to colonize on campus 
for Rush in the fall 
of 1985, said Dean 
Stuart Good. 

Good, who is the 
IFC advisor, said that 
IFC suggested that 
it would be most appro- 
priate to wait until 
next fall to see what 
Rush will be like in 
terms of enrollment. 
Millsaps had a record 
number of new students 
enroll this year, and 
IFC wants to wait 



and see if the enrollment 
pattern stabilizes. 

Good also said that 
the major consideration 
IFC was looking at 
was what the "appro- 
priate" size for a frater- 
nity at Millsaps would 
be. He said there was 
a struggle about what 

the maximum benefits 
for a fraternity would 
be: a larger fraternity, 
or adding another 
fraternity, therefore 
perhaps resulting in 
smaller fraternities. 

IFC plans to continue 
with the fraternity 

system the way things 
are now, and look 
to see what is appro- 
priate after they have 
another year's exper- 
ience with a large 
rush, Good said. 



Mock election to 
be held Thursday 



by Kelly Wilford 



Millsaps will be the scene of a mock election 
this Thursday, November^ 1. The election will 
be held in the student center from 11 to 6, 
and is co-sponsored by the SB A, the Elections 
Committee, the Millsaps College Democrats 
and the Young Republicans at Millsaps, according 
to Mac Bailey, SBA 1st Vice President. 

Bailey said there would be two categories 
of voting. Those who live out of state will vote 
for President only, and those who live in 
Mississippi will vote for President and Senator- 
possibly by districts. 

The results will be picked up by several sources, 
including the local news and certain political 
headquarters, including Thad Cochran's 
headquarters, said Bailey. "Because of this, 
we need a high voter turnout to show that we 
at Millsaps are politically active," he said. 

The SBA attempted to get voting booths, 
but were not able to attain them because they 
were already loaned out, Bailey said. 

Professor John Quincy Adams may use the 
results in his upcoming Friday Forum entitled 
"Election '84" to be held this Friday, November 
2.

OPINION 



Many views 
about campus 
life aired 
...briefly 

Well, there comes a time each year 
to "air out the closet", so to speak. A 
time to touch on all those issues that 
warrant attention but perhaps aren't 
as prevalent or timely as the regular 

editorials. Well, here's the rundown: 

i 

I think that the college should have a 
policy to accomodate left-handed students. 
There are seemingly no left-handed desks 
on this campus. Don't "southpaws" have 
rights too? 

For those that are registered, please 
remember to vote on November 6. If 
you didn't register, shame on you! The 
right to vote is a privilege, please take 
advantage of it. 



Along those same democratic lines, the 
SBA will hold a mock election this Thurs- 
. day, November 1. Students who are resi- 
! dents in state will be allowed to vote, 
both in the presidential race and in the 
congressional race. The .results should 
prove to be interesting, and will definitely 
settle the question of our college being 
"liberal". 



On to the lighter side, the annual Chi 
Omega Owl Man dance will be this Friday, 
November 2 at the Knights of Columbus 
Lodge. They encourage everyone to come, 
it should be a real blast! The sorority 
is encouraging everyone to drink responsi- 
bly and if you are planning to drink heavily, 
arrange for some transportation. Please 
don't drive if you are going to drink! 

As we've been told, the "rapist" is back 
in town. Please, just because he hasn't 
been seen on campus, don't treat the 
matter lightly. Take precautions. 

Remember, we are mature, college stu- 
dents, and I do realize that Halloween 
brings out the "impish prankster" in every- 
one, but please no juvenile incidents 
like we have seen in the past. Everyone 
likes to joke, but let's control the impulse. 
Often pain and embarassment are caused 
by the unthoughtful acts. 



Good news! The student typewriter room 



is functional 
the situation 



again. Take advantage of 
Though the typewriters 
may not be the state of the art in printers, 
they are electric and are a definite 
improvement over the old manual Under- 
woods some of us have. 

Now to address an issue that is near 
and dear to everyone's hearts: the Burger 
King coupons. It is not the newspaper's 
fault that Burger King had to cut back 
on advertising and chose to so in the 
area of college newspapers. We do, how- 
ever, have a Mrs. Winner's coupon for 
the sandwich biscuits. I know there's 
nothing like a Whopper, but speaking 
from experience, the steak and chicken 
club biscuits are pretty good! 

This weekend is the last Majors football 
game of the season. We will play Southwest 
Georgia. The Millsaps community is 
proud of our team and its winning season, 
please come out and show your support. 

Now to end it all, a few accolades to 
some deserving individuals. Dean Good, 
we appreciate the job you do, though 
we might not always agree with your 
views. Thanks to Dr. Lee Reiff, Friday 
Forum is running as smoothly as ever. 
(Speaking of Friday Forum, students 
should attend, you might just find that 
you learn something.) 



MAILBOX 

To the Editor, 

I am usually a fairly 
passive person when 
I find a t>roblem that 



affects all of us. I 
usually expect someone 
else to handle it. But 
this time I can't believe 
what has happened, 



and I refuse to sit 
still over it. 

The problem is this-the 
supposedly hilarious 
banner that was flown 




outside our student 
union yesterday. At 
about 9a.m. I was 
on the way to the 
grill when I saw large 
groups of people pointing 
and laughing at the 
banner. Of course, 
I hurried on over to 
see what was so funny. 
To be frank, I was 
horrified. Not only 
was the thing I saw 
obscene, it caused 
personal embarrassment, 
not to a group of people, 
but to one (1) person. 

Is something wrong 
with me that I found 
the incident to be 



one of the crudest, 
most uncalled for 
acts I possibly have 
ever witnessed in 
my whole life? 

And why did |all 
those people laugh? 
Were they laughing 
because their friends 
were laughing? Or, 



Tracey Miller....

even more frightening, 
did they actually think 
it was funny? 

What would possess 
someone to pull such 
a distructive prank? 
I don't know what 
the Millsaps administra-

about this. I just hope 
that if these jokers 
can be convinced that 
this act was malicious 
and without humor, 
they probably won't

ADP PROGRAM 
cont. from p. 1 



for academic success" and 
introducing the students to 
"some of the theory of liberal 
arts education," according 
to the course syllabus. The 
course, designed by English 
department instructors Beth 
Jones and Robert Padgett, 
requires eight texts of various 
sorts ranging from Study Skills 
for Adults Returning to School 
to The Aims of Education 
and Other Essays and Modern 
Man in Search of a Soul. 
Requirements include weekly 
papers, a research project, 
a final examination and class 
participation, worth 20 percent 
of the final grade. "It is a 
very compact, compressed 
course," said Catherine Freis, 
Chairperson of the ADP college 
committee. "If they get through 
that, they can handle anything 
at Millsaps College." 

The flexibility involved 
in the program is also a great 
asset to adult learners, Freis 
said. The same general core 
requirements are involved, 
but with substitutions available. 
Any literature course (from 
English Literature to Greek 
Drama) will fulfill the literature 
requirement and any ancient 
history course can serve as 
a prerequisite to other history 
courses, Freis said. Also, either 
12 hours of language or nine 
hours of computer language 
is required. 

In addition to these 
substitutions, an ADP student 
may submit a portfolio of 
prior learning for credits. 
The portfolio includes a 
"definitive narrative of experi- 
ences and how they equal 
to what the student would 
have learned in a 



situation," Sallis said. 

The portfolio, she said, must 
have documentation such as 
certificates earned for work 
done, news articles about 
work or time spent, etc. Compil- 
ing this portfolio is basically 
"trying to write down for 
examination by a professor 
in an organized way that you 
have learned the equivalent 
of what they would have taught 
you," Sallis said. To date only 
one adult student has completed 
a portfolio. Credit was granted 
in speech and religion to a 
student who has served as 
a lay reader in the Episcopal 
church. The appropriate profes- 
sors evaluate portfolios and 
determine if it is valuable 
as college level learning. The 
Millsaps faculty member is 
the final authority, Sallis said. 

Because working adults 
have a much greater need 
for flexibility, Freis said, 
they are allowed to "stop out" 
of a course without being 
penalized. "Stopping out" is 
an option for students who 
need to temporarily discontinue 
their studies, according to 
the ADP catalog. With %his 
option, the students remain 
in good standing and may resume 
their studies after the "stop 
out" period without reapply- 
ing to the program. The program 
director must approve a stop 
out, the catalog states. 

Independent Directed Study 
is also an option, since many 
adult learners have a difficult 
time scheduling classes around 
their full time work or family 
life. Such studies are also 
approved by a faculty member 
involved in the courses.

POLITICAL 
ARENA 

The Freeze - 
step toward 

nuclear sanities 

by Mike Patterson 

Since the election of an ideological 
conservative and perceived "hawk" to 
the presidency in 1980, there has been 
a corresponding rise in the level of concern 
among citizens on "war-peace" issues. 
An area of almost universal anxiety 
has been nuclear weapons and arms control. 
The Reagan Administration (if re-elected) 
is planning to appropriate approximately 
a trillion dollars for defense over the 
remainder of this decade, with a large 
segment earmarked for enlarging this 
nation's nuclear forces and developing 
new space weapons such as anti-sattelite 
issiles and a space-based anti-ballistic 
ile ("Star Wars") system. A cautious 
er naturally questions why such 
buildup is warranted at such great 
expense, or hwy some governments cannot 
negotiate nuclear weapons out of exis- 
tence. 

The idealistic concept of ridding the 
earth of nuclear weapons is certainly 
a noble one, but as a workable concept 
is just that-an ideal. Given the current 
conventional military inferiority of the 
United States, the diligence of some 
tions or groups who seek to acquire 
uclear capability, and the mere existence 
of nuclear technology make it nearly 
impossible that the world will ever be 
uclear-free; however, a halt of the 
uclear arms race is possible, through 
negotiation of a mutual, verifiable, nuclear 
freeze. The Reagan Administration has 
ijected the idea, contending that a 
eze would leave us in a position of 
lear inferiority; but the general concen- 
sus is that the United States and the 
viet Union are in a position of rough 
uclear equivalence. According to Living 
Nuclear Weapons, p. 131, by the 



\ 



Harvard Nuclear Study Group, "...the 
current arsenals are so large that the 
nuclear balance between the U.S. and 
the USSR is insensitive to minor changes 
in number of weapons," and Nuclear 
War- What's In It For You, p. 76, by Ground 
Zero, states, "...at the moment, the 
strategic strength of both sides is roughly 
equal...Even a major effort by one side 
or the other could not easily upset this 
balance." The combined nuclear forces 
of the U.S. and the USSR also possess 
a quality known as "overkill "-the destruc- 
tive capacity to kill every living human 
being many times over; and new studies 
have shown that if just one side launches 
a substantial part of its nuclear forces 
against the other, the resulting pollution 



(and the "Star Wars" system) is simply 
an extension of the arms race into space. 
The Soviet Union currently possesses 
a primitive anti-satellite missile that 
is incapable of harming our high orbit 
satellites. The U.S. is currently developing 
an advanced anti-satellite missile which 
will be capable of hitting the targets. 
A Soviet version won't be far behind. 
They will be able to destroy the very 
satellites which warn us of nuclear attack. 
Such weapons are obviously destabilizing. 
Although we can't necessarily stop research 
into weapons of war, a freeze on the 
testing and deployment of nuclear weapons 
should be accompanied by a comparable 
freeze on space weapons. The opportunity 
should be pursued now before the "race 



.. at the moment, the strategic strength 



of both sides is roughly equal... 



3 J 



of the atmosphere would block enough 
of the sun's rays to produce a "nuclear 

winter", where all human life on earth 
would cease to exist. 

At this point, some will look to the 
new initiative by the Reagan Administra- 
tion to produce a space-based defense 
against Soviet nuclear missiles and find 
consolation. This proposal is as idealistic 
as trying to rid the world of nuclear 
weapons. Assuming such technology 
could be developed and the weapon tested 
and deployed, it is practically certain 
the Soviets would develop measures 
to counter it. When we reach the day 
of defensive weapons which can incapaci- 
tate nuclear missiles, the would will 
see new offensive weapons even more 
efficient and destructive in scope (if 
that is imaginable) than those now present. 

We have witnessed over the past few 
decades a technological perpetuation 
of the arms race. One side will deploy 
a new weapon or develop a new capability 
(usually the U.S.); and the other side 
will match the technology, improve upon 
it, or attempt to offset it by numerical 
advantage, leaving incentive for the 
former side to improve' its own weaponry. 
It is a seemingly endless recurring cycle. 
The development of anti-satellite missiles 



in space" gets out of control. 

Another consequence involved in addition 
to the reduced stability resulting from 
space weapons and an expanded nuclear 
force is "opportunity-cost." In other 
words, what other purposes could that 
trillion dollar defense appropriation 
be serving. According to Peter Navarro, 
a researcher at Harvard University, 
a trillion dollars is "a thousand new hospi- 
tals, half a million new schools, and 
half a million new factories. Alternatively, 
a trillion dollars is a free college education 
for every child, a new car for every 
eligible driver, or a year's worth of groce- 
ries for every family." A nuclear freeze 
would save a massive amount of federal 
revenue-revenue which could be used 
to reduce the federal deficit, develop 
programs to fight our 15.2 percent poverty 
rate, clean up the environment, etc. 
It is somewhat shameful that the world's 
two superpowers are spending hundreds 
of billions of dollars preparing for 
Armageddon while the rest of the world 
suffers from hunger and ignorance. It 
. is time the leaders of both countries 
realized the alternative to an antagonistic 
arms competition and worked toward 
a solution to the world's nuclear 
predicament.

Soccer team wins 



two in a row 



Millsaps Sports Release 

Jackson, MS— "Two 

in a row and it feels 
good," commented 
Head Soccer Coach 
George Gober. The 
Majors defeated 
Maryville (TN) College 
1-0 and then crushed 
Tougaloo 9-0 to raise 
their record to 4-6-2 
for the 1984 season. 

The consecutive 
victories were the 
first for the team 
this season and in 
a way it hurts that 
they have come this 
late, Gober replied. 

"Without a doubt, 
we had hoped for much 
more," he said. 

In the Maryville 
contest, the scoreless 
deadlock was broken 
by a Millsaps sophomore 
Kevin Brune. The 
goal was Brune's third 
of the season. It was 
all the Majors needed, 
however, as goalie 



iviarion Lyons and 
the defensive line 
made it stand up for 
the 1-0 shutout. 

The Tougaloo game 
was a marked contrast 
offensively in that 
the Majors scored 
a season high four 
goals in the first half 
alone and then proceeded 
to tack on five more 
in the closing half 
for the victory. 

David Forsythe 
kicked for the hat 
trick (3 goals) and 
Michael Newman along 
with Sean Peenstra 
contributed two goals 
each. In the process, 
Peenstra tallied a 
school record of eight 
points. Other Millsaps 
goals were scored 
by Andy Soloman and 
E.J. Croal. 

Millsaps now braces 
for a full weekend 
with games against 
Mississippi College, 
Principia and Maryville 
(MO) College. 



Tennis team 
ranked twelfth 

Millsaps Sports Release 



Jackson, MS — The Millsaps College men's tennis 
team has been ranked number 12 in the National 
Collegiate Athletic Association Division III 
pre-season poll released by the Intercollegiate 
Tennis Coaches Association. 

Millsaps is highly regarded by the pollsters 
because it returns all eight of last year's regulars 
who compiled a 14-14 record while playing 
one of the toughest schedules in NCAA Divison 
III. Also, according to Mike Schrier of Central 
College in Pella, IO, ITCA poll director, the 
possible return of injured senior Jeff Alexander 
(Long Beach, MS) and the addition of ex-junior 
college ace Bill Briggs (Moss Point, MS), helped 
the polling board in its decision to rank Millsaps 
in the top 20. 

Kalamazoo (MI) College led the poll, while 
Emory (GA) University was the only other South 
Region team to break into the elite 20. 

Individually, senior geology major Rod Cook 
(Shreveport, LA) improved his final 1984 ranking 
of number 28 to number 14 in this poll. Newcomer 
Bill Briggs was listed as number 48. In doubles, 
Cook and senior business major Rob Buxton 
(Indianola, IO) were tabbed for the fifteenth 
spot, up from their final 1984 rank of number 
30. Briggs and junior business major Kirk Patrick 
(Baton Rouge, LA) were picked at the nineteenth 
position in doubles. 



Majors capture two close wins, 
on the road; raise record to 7-1 



by Barton Thrasher 



During the past two weeks the 
Millsaps Majors football team has 
tangled with two tough opponents, 
the Maryville Scots and the 
Washington University Bears, and 
come away winners. The victories 
haven't been won by comfortable 
margins either, the scores being 
14-13 and 26-25. In each game, 
the Majors have leed by 7 going 
into the final minutes of the game, 
the Majors have led by 7 going into 
the final minutes of the game. The 
opponents then managed to score 
and go for the win with a two point 
conversion. In both cases, the defense 
came up with a great play when 
the Majors needed it to save the 
victory. 

In the game against Maryville, 
the Majors almost had two opponents 
in the other team and the horrible 
field condition. Majors quarterback 
Steve Fuson said the field was more 
of a "mud bowl" than a field. In 
the first half, the Majors dominated 
as Edmond Donald scored after 
a Vic Cooper interception. The Majors 
other score came in the second 
quarter on a pass from Fuson to 
tight end Roy Murrell. Kevin Callison 
kicked both PAT's for a 14-0 halftime 
lead. In the second half, the Scots 
got on track and scored two 
touchdowns. In the final moments 
of the game, they went for a two 
point conversion only to have the 
Majors' Frankie Franklin sack the 
quarterback thus sealing the victory. 
The win pushed the Majors' season 
to 6-1. 

The next week, the Majors travelled 
to St. Louis to battle the Washington 
University Bears. The game was 
a first for the Majors in that it was 



the first time they have played 
a contest on artificial turf. There 
were mixed views on how people 
liked it, but one thing's for sure: 
the Majors .are now 1-0 on turf. 

In the game, the Majors again 
gave the coaching staff a near heart 
attack by staving off a desperate 
Bears attempt to win the game. 
The scoring was started by the home 
team as they led 2-0 at the close 
of the first quarter. The Majors 
struck back early in the second 
quarter with Quarterback Steve 
Fuson scoring on a quarterback 
sneak from one yard out. The extra 
point failed and the Majors trailed 
7-6. Millsaps got the lead on their 
next possession with a Fuson to 
Doug Hudnall for a 15 yard touchdown. 
The two point conversion failed 
so our lead was 12-7. We struck 
back later in the quarter as Fuson 
scampered around the end for a 
34 yard touchdown. The Majors 
again went for two and again failed. 
The Bears scored in the closing 
minutes of the half as they pulled 
to 18-13 deficit. Their two point 
conversion also was unsuccessful. 

The second half opened with

Easton and Bowie 
try new sounds 

by Blake Smith 

SHEENA EASTON — PRIVATE HEAVEN 

If Sheena Easton has reached her Private 
Heaven, she won't stay there long if she continues 
to sing provocative songs like "Strut" and "Sugar 
Walls." The sweet and innocent voice of this 
English beauty has definitely changed to a more 
seductive Olivia Newton John or a Ricky Lee 
Jones. 

However, her slow, romantic songs have kept 
their chastity, portraying the true angel deep 
inside her. These will still sell her to her old 
clientel, but her faster, sexually explicit tunes 
will gain her a new audience. I suggest buying 
the album to see which side of her personality 
you like best: the angel or the provocative seduct- 
ress.

DAVID BOWIE— TONIGHT 

Vocal talent and instrumentation seem to 
be the only advantages to the new Bowie release 
Tonight. As usual, David Bowie changes his 
style ever-so-slightly in order to "move along 
with the times." This album captures a hit of 
the recent revival of interest in rege' rhythm. 
One can tell by my rating of this album that 
I'm not particularly fond of this style. However, 
I am fond of Bowie's vocal talent, enough so 
that I think that the album may be worth 
purchasing on this basis alone.

Wickham presents lectures, 
"Globe" film at Millsaps 

; Wickham said he thought that Ameri- 
can students are "more . timid" and 
less willing to commit themselves 
in questions or discussion as to per- 
sonal viewpoint. He said American 
students have "an alarming habit 
of taking the teacher's word as gos-. 
pel," whereas British students are 
trained to question lecturers' view- 
point on principles. He added, how- 
ever, on a lighter note, that they 
"may live to regret it." In Britian 
there is an emphasis on training 
to develop an independence of judge- 
ment, Wickham said. 

Concerning drama in American 
colleges and in America in general, 
Wickham said there is a "positive 
reluctance to accept drama or theater 
as a major subject on the grounds 
of the chances of making a career 
from it are pretty shaky." There 
is a lot of parental pressure in schools 
positively to deflect or deter students 
from taking the subject seriously. 
In colleges, he said, many students 
find in plays that the rehearsals' 
demands on time is more than they 
can give. "It is difficult to cast 
plays in theater departments," he 
said. 

It is a rather unfortunate break 
on the sort of plays which departments 
can offer to campus' because "you 



Several classes at Millsaps this 
week will host guest lecturer Glynne 
Wickham of Briston University in 
England. Wickham is visiting Millsaps 
in coordination with the Southern 
Colleges and University Union, and 
besides visiting classes in Shakespeare, 
Modern Drama, Greek Tragedy and 
Directing, Wickham will present 
Wednesday night the videotape "Shake- 
speare's Globe Reborn," which he 
directed and which ran on BBC in 
July. Wickham will present a talk 
after the film, and the presentation 
will be open to the public. 

Wickham is the Emeritus Professor 
of Drama at Bristol University and 
is recognized as the world's foremost 
authority on Medieval English Litera- 
ture. He has written many volumns 
on other aspects of British drama 
also. Wickham received his degrees 
from Oxford, and has had many 
visiting professorships at American 
universities and has lectured many 
times at British Studies at Oxford. 
He has also had a very active career 
as a director, including a two year 
production of "The Birthday Party" 
in San Francisco.

OPINION 



A fallacy of 
modern music 

by Ree<J Hubbard 

What did you listen to when you were 
growing up? The older readers may have 
heard the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, 
or Simon and Garfunkel. Younger readers 
will probably identify with Barry Manilow, 
the Bee Gees, Chicago and Peter Framp- 
ton. For most of us, probably the most 
radical music we listened to before enter- 
ing high school was those four painted 
morons who called themselves Kiss. 
These idiots capitalized on theatrics 
and anonymity (it was well known that 
no one had ever seen their faces unpainted) 
to take money of the pre-puberty crowd. 
One would like to believe that the musical 
carpetbaggers such as Kiss have dissolved 
into disbandment, but no such luck. We 
are surrounded today with a whole new 
breed of Kisses which are aiming them- 
selves at the same crowd, but preaching 
a different message. 

In the early 70s, "Heavy Metal" was 
a label affixed to then popular groups 
such as Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. 
It sprung from the heavy sound of the 
guitar leads and the extreme use of drums 
in these compositions. Today, the days 
of Hendrix, Aerosmith, and Edgar Winter 



are long gone, leaving us a bastard son 
bearing the same, name as his forefathers. 
This new Heavy Metal is a disgrace to 
the original bands and is a fallacy of 
modern music, if it can be called music. 
It seems necessary to categorize the 
bands of today's Heavy Metal, so the 
following will be used: acceptable, unac- 
ceptable, and insane. 

In the category of acceptable Heavy 
Metal, we are to include bands like Van 
Halen and Sammy Hagar. These are music- 
ians who really believe that what they 
are doing is valid, and some validity 
is present. Examples of compositions 
are Van Halen's perfect pop song, "Jump," 
and Hagar's enjoyable theme to the movie 
Heavy Metal. Seen in these songs is a 
true desire to play music for it's enjoyment 
and not as an easy way to become rich. 
The members of this category have used 
little but their sound to gain a following, 
which at least says something for them. 
Their fans are also not restricted to 
the under 18 crew. Other entries in this 
group are some of Robert Plant's solo 
work and a couple of pre-1979 Adam 
Ant songs. 

Unacceptable Heavy Metal is less 
of an elite group. Here is where bands 
including Def Leppard, AC/DC and Quiet 
Riot fit in. These are bands that feel 
little concern for what kind of trash 
they are feeding the public, as long as 

they get their share of the record comp- 
any's profits. Below are two excerpts 
from unacceptable songs: 

Some say she do, some say she don't, 
Some say she will, some say she won't, / 
Some say she can'tt, I know she can, 
I say I've got to be, her lovin' man. 






ColSoge Press Service 



I'm a finder, and I'm a keeper, 
I'm not a loser, and I ain't no weeper. 

The scholars that wrote the above 
passages are typical of this group. Can 
anyone find any true meaning in these 
carefully authored lines? Probably not, 
but it doesn't matter. These are excerpt 
from two very popular songs (Loverboy' 
"Hot Girls in Love" and Quiet Riot' 
"Metal Health"). The writers, sir 
and musicians (?) of these pieces 
gained substantially from them, 
it came from your pocket. 

Finally, we have the insane. This is 
where Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, and 
Wasp fit in. These groups of people have 
no purpose except to exploit the youth 
of American and British society. No 
value is found anywhere in any aspect 
of this category. Emphasis is upon theatrics 
almost totally. Themes include witchcraft, 
satanism, blood, death, and chaos. Black 
Sabbath refugee Ozzy Osbourne is typical 
in his theatrics. His guitarist was "the 
best in the world" according to his fans. 
He was killed when his airplane hit a 
garage. Now he is "a martyr for the 
cause of rock and role." These guys belong 
in Hollywood, not the music business. 
Look at Twisted Sister, drag queens 
on stage. These losers scream (not sing), 
"We're not going to take it!" while they 
take the money from pre-teens with 
dulled senses. Our efforts at limiting 
pornography should be directed at this 
obnoxious, worthless medium. This is 
fueling future adults with negativity, 
apathy, and disrespect. What else could 
be more corrosive of our society than 
this? 

The next logical question is "Why?" 
Where has all of this come from an 
why is it so popular? Three letters can 
answer these questions: MTV. The new 
access of cable has made music vide 
the newest hitmaker and the main prova- 
cateur of this insanity. The problem 
with cable video makes these grade school 
dropouts into stars and then exalts them 
to no end. This is the source, and once 
the source runs out, hopefully the result 
will expire also. 

As we end this article, we ask, "What 
of Kiss?" After all, we started out with 
them, we might as well give an update 

on their progress. Kiss has shed their 
costumes and washed their faces, losing 
two original members in the process. 
They have aaow taken on the satanistic 
approach after unsuccessful attempts 
at di-co (Dynasty), seriousness (Songs 
from the Elder), and solo (the Solo albums). 
Their latest release, Animalize, contains 
their new hit Heaven's on Fire. This 
just shows the talent of Kiss and others 
like them. And it just reinforces the 
point which has firmly been made.

College students 
across state prefer 
Reagan to Mondale 



Reagan-Bush Release 



JACKSON, MS— Col- 
lege students from 
all over the state 
have strongly endorsed 
the reelection campaign 
of President Reagan 
and Vice-President 
Bush, by giving the 
Republican ticket 
victories in mock 
elections. 

"I'm very pleased, 
but the results do 
not surprise me at 
all. Students realize 
that four more years 
of this Administration 
is very important 
to their future," says 
Hayes Dent, State 
Coordinator for Youth 
for Reagan-Bush '84. 
The Reagan-Bush 
ticket received 1,573 
votes statewide for 
a combined percentage 
of 80%. The Democratic 
ticket pulled 396 votes 
which totaled 20% 
statewide. The lowest 
percentage for President 
Reagan was 63% and 
varied inbetween and 
went to 93% of the 



vote at Belhaven Col- 
lege. All the elections 
were sponsored by 
an independent campus 
group such as the 
Student Government 
Association, school 
newspaper, Political 
Science Honorary, 
etc. 

"Students nationwide 
and by these results, 
here in Mississippi, 
are showing the Presi- 
dent more support 
than any other group, 
because we have got 
to live with the results 
of his Administration, 
and we like what we 
see," says Mike Agee, 
State Chairman for 
Youth for Reagan-Bush 
and Student Body 
President at Mississippi 
State University. 

Individual campus 
percentages were 
as follows: Southern 
63%; Ole Miss 68%; 
Millsaps 79%; Mississippi 
State 85%; Delta State 
89%; Mississippi College 
91%; Belhaven 93%. 
Dent said "Our total 
of 80% is much higher 
than the national ave- 
rage and that is some-

POLITICAL 
ARENA 

Election year: 
the Democrats 
rules 

by Beau Butler 

This campaign season will no doubt 
ive political historians much to talk 
about in coming years. It will not be 
because of a "realignment", or because 
of the disclosure of St. Geraldine's tax 
returns, but rather because it revealed 
the operation of certain immutable laws 
of the universe. In order that these be 
preserved, I have arrogated to myself 
the dubious honor of making an initial 
attempt to record them. Here are just 
~ few: 

(a) The First Amendment Doesn't Work 
Both Ways Law: It is permissible to 
rudely insult someone in high public 
office, the President, for example, if 
he is a Republican. (Don't bother with 
those high public officials who are 
simultaneously female and Republican, 
since it is well known that they are merely 
tokens, political placebos, if you will.) 
When, however, the Facist press begins 
to, for example, call Mondale a wimp, 
that is cruel, undignified, and downright 



appeal to the mainstream of society 
that doesn't feel the need to salve its 
neroses by engaging in deviant sexual 
acts or supporting a nuclear freeze, 
they are being exclusionary, elitist, country 
clubbers without, as we already mentioned, 
. compassion. 
, (d) The Law of Increasing Deficits: When 
i Democrats run up huge structural deficits, 
that is permissible, since they are exercis- 
ing their abundant compassion by confisca- 
ting the ill-gotten wealth and income 
of rich people (like John Zaccaro, Ferraro's 
husband) and giving it to the poor, whose 
numbers expand exponentially in relation 
to the amount of aid given them. When 
the Republicans run a deficit, it is a 
threat to the international monetary 
system and causes illegal immigration 



ano 



(c) The If It Gets Votes It Works Law: 
When the Democrats make appeals to 
blacks, whites, Jews, Arabs, Catholics, 
Protestants, heterosexuals, homosexuals, 
lesbians, Asian-Americans, labor, people 
who, because of religious preferences 
don't want to impose commercial cleanli- 
ness on the rest of society and who there- 
fore don't wear deoderant, Communists, 
"reformist" capitalists, militant feminists 
who believe in artificial (via turkey baster) 
insemination, and environmentalists 
who poison laboratory rats to warn an 
unknowing society of hidden cancer-causing 
agents, they are being broad-based, 
compassionate, flexible, loving, maternal, 
and attempting to forge a coalition 
representing all interest groups with 
the wherewithal! to buttonhole j a 



"When the Facist press begins to, for 
example, call Mondale a wimp, that is 
cruel, undignified, and downright mean J 9 



;xic 



(b) The Law of the Bleeding Heart: Liberals 



from Mexico to take place, 
(e) The L4w of International Misperceptior : 
All Communist uprisings, in Afghanistan 
for instance, are the result of indigenous 
forces and genuine desires for self-deter- 
mination; all of those Soviet weapons 
used in such uprisings grow naturally 
in the fertile soils of these former colonies. 
Any pro-Western support, on the other 
hand, is the result of repressive policies 
of right-wing dictators, whom the Republi- 
cans, being not only uncompassionate 
but reactionary, always support. 



Congressman. When the Republicans 
hold the monopoly on compassion, since 
it is another well known fact that conser- 
vatives have nothing in their psychological 
structure resembling human compassion 
any organ capable of lovingly transmitting 
it to the outside world. 

Historians, will no doubt discover an 
immensely vast number of these la via, 
and will very likely go on to conclude 
that those citizens who supported Ronajld 
Regan in this election committed a very 
wise act in breaking them.

Majors end 
season with win 



by Mark Ricketts 



The Millsaps Majors football team concluded 
1984 season with an exciting 17-14 victory 
2r the Georgia Southwestern Hurricanes. 
The win boosted the" Majors' final record to 
eight and one, the 16th time out of the last 
17 years Coach Harper Davis has produced 
a winning record. Millsaps' sixth straight victory 
allowed the Majors the chance of gaining a 
sible NCAA Division III playoff berth. Millsaps 
must wait and hope that some of the higher 
iked teams lose in the upcoming weeks. 

Millsaps struck first against the bigger and 
stronger Georgia Southwestern squad, which 
came into the game with an impressive five 
and one record. On their first offensive 
possession, Millsaps marched to the Georgia 
Southwestern five-yard line before settling 
for a 23 yard field goal by kicker Kevin Callison. 
The drive was highlighted by a beautiful 58 
rd pass play from sophomore quarterback 
;ve Fuson to junior wingback David Cheek. 
Cheek caught three passes on the day for 86 
yards. 

The Millsaps defense got into the scoring 
act minutes later. Defensive* back Billy Wise 
broke through the line to block a Hurricane 
punt. The ball rolled into the end zone, where 
Frankie Franklin fell on it for the Majors' first 
touchdown. Callison's point after gave Millsaps 
the lead to 10-0. 

Georgia Southwestern, an NAIA school from 
Americus, Georgia, got untracked in the second 
quarter and scored to cut the Majors' lead to 
10-7. The Hurricanes' touchdown came on a 
30 yard scamper by quarterback Rick Davis. 
With the Majors' running attack almost 
non-existent (Millsaps would only muster 52 
is on 24 carries for the entire game), Millsaps 
:ided to go to the air. The decision was a 
good one as Fuson hit senior tight end Roy Murrell 
with a 23 yard scoring toss. Callison added 
his second extra point of the game, and Millsaps 
led at the half 17 to 7. 

Georgia Southwestern dominated the second 
half, holding Millsaps to 31 yards total offense. 
However, it was the stingy Millsaps defense 
that continually came up with the big play, 
and kept their lead intact. 

After a scoreless third quarter, Georgia 
Southwestern scored early in the fourth quarter 
on Davis's four yard run, his second of the day. 
Millsaps' lead was down 17-14 and things began 
to look worse as Georgia Southwestern took 
their next possession- and drove to the Majors' 
26 yard line. However, a tremendous hit by 
David Speight jarred the ball loose and Tommy 
Powell recovered the fumbel to end the 
Hurricanes' threat. Millsaps ran out the remaining 
Powell recovered the fumble to end the 
Hurricanes' threat. Millsaps ran out the remaining 
time to gain their eighth victory of the season. 

Jow, Millsaps must play a waiting game, 
-toping that a few upsets will occur and land 
he Majors in the playoffs.

'General' conquers a 'World' 



by Matt Kaye 



The Alcorn State 
Braves pulled out 
all their stops and 
literally destroyed 

Mississippi Valley 
40 to 28 this past 
Saturday before a 
record stadium crowd 
of 63, 808. General 
Ike Holt and the Soul 
Patrol defense knew 
the Delta Devils so 
well that they were 
at the designated 
points in pass routes 
before the receivers 
were. Jerry "World" 
Rice, who was averaging 
12 catches and 197 
yards was limited 
to only eight and 137 
respectively. 

Alcorn coach Marino 
Casern better known 
as "the Godfather" 
gave his former pupil 
Archie "Gunslinger" 
Cooley a lesson in 

the final aspects of 



coaching. After the 
game, Alcorn players 
sprinted across the 
field and appropriately 
"shot" the Gunslinger 
down. 

Thought For The 
Week: The best team 



won, no doubt about 
it. As the saying goes, 

"Good defense wins 

championship while 

good offenses sells 

tickets." Was a script 

ever written better 
than this.

Trio puts Activity 
into Cypress 



by Reed Hubbard 



LETS ACTIVE— CYPRESS 
*** (Scale of 4) 

Whether you know it or not, there is, in popular 
music today, a revival of a "hometown" sound. 
One may find this new sound in modern groups 
such as R.E.M., the dB's, and Lone Justice. 
The newest entry into this category is a trio 
known to the public as Let's Active. In 1983, 
Let's Active released an Extended Play which 
received great critical acclaim. The main reason 
is most likely the fact that one of the members 
is producer extroidinaire Mitch Easter (who 
has produced bands from R.E.M. to Square Root, 
of Now, a local band). Possessing a reputation 
j as one of the most innovative producers in popular 
music today, Easter, along with members Faye 
Hunter and Sara Romweber, has released an 
album which should strengthen the impression 
most listeners got from EP. 

Cypress has a dramatic sound characteristic 
of the new Musical South. It distinguishes itself, 
however, by allowing for influences from all 
over and including some ideas never before 
used. The female lead vocals in "Blue Line" 
take the listener back to the days of the" girl 
group domination of the late 50s and early 60s. 
An unusual sound noted in "Flags for Everything" 
seemed a reference from the Los Angeles Piisley 
Underground of the early 80s. A mellow "Crows 
on a Phone Line" bring back to the South and 
the simpler way of life characteristic of the 
area. The strong ending and the stable jmood 
throughout the album simply reinforce this 
album's good side, which is practically it! » only 
side. 

As for the commercial success of this album, 
sales will probably be low. No song on the jalbum 
fits the mold of a top 40 hit. However, jif the 
buyer can force him or herself to overcome 
this minor disappointment, he or she will discover 
an enjoyable album covering a large spectrum 
of musical styles and satisfying many musical 
tastes. Cypress is highly recommended and 
may prove to be one of the best new releases 
of 1984. You never know what you're missing 
until you try it.

November 6, 1984 



WICKHAM, from. p. 1 

know in advance," 
Wickham said, "that 
you can't cast it." 
He said Shakespearean 
plays are an example 
of this. "There's little 
point in trying to do 
them when you know 
you can't cast them." 

These problems 
inhibit experiment 
that universities ought 
to be undertaking, 
said Wickham. Most 
colleges do have good 
theater facilities and 
staff, he said. 

This feeling does 
not exist on a British 
campus. "There is 
not the same feeling 
of [drama being] a 
dangerous thing to 
get into as a career," 
Wickham said. There 
is a fundamental differ- 
ence, he said, in the 
general situation of 
theater in England 
and in America that 
relates to geography. 
The difference is in 
size, said Wickham. 

He explained that 
in the 1920s and 1930s 
an enormous gulf divided 
film from theater. 
That gap between 
Los Angeles and New 
York forced a choice 
between the two. 

Wickham said there 
is an "artificial split" 
in theater that continued 
into television. "There 
is only an exceptional 
actor like Dustin Hoff- 
man or Jane Fonda 
who can appear on 
screen and stage, 
he said. England is 
so small that the ago- 
nizing choice doesn't 
exist, explained Wick- 
ham. Actors are trained 
in training schools 
to make a living in 
all three media areas, 
he said. 

It is difficult, Wickham 
said, for young American 
actors or actresses 
to serve an apprentice- 
ship in a great variety 
of different types 
of roles out of the 
"glare s>f major press 
critics," he said. This 
is not so in England, 
where an actor may 
have 40 or 50 minor 
roles before ever being 
seen in London. This 
allows for more exper- 
ience with our own 
limitations, weaknesses 
and preferences, Wick- 
ham said. You can 
see how to correct 
yourself before the 
rough test of a major 



role is confronted, 
he said. 

Wickham said that 
one problem that exists 
is that once young 
Americans are cast 
as a type, they are 
fit. "Once that package 
has earned its keep 
and is garbaged, they 
are garbaged with 
it." He said that only 
regional theaters can 
help with this type 
of problem. 

"Until a network 
of regional theaters 
with a steady repertory 
and with two to three 
auditoriums, there 
is little chance of 
a career structure 
returning," said Wick- 
ham. America needs 
recognized training 
schools as a nursery 
where students "learn 
to walk." In regional 
theaters they "streng- 
then limbs and run 
a little, and then they 
are ready for the stad- 
ium, for the athletic 
meeting," he said. 
Students cannot jump 
"from the cradle to 
Broadway" without 
a vital training round 
in between. "There 
is no substitute for 
learning the hard way," 
he said. 

Another reason 
Wickham is visiting 
colleges is to present 
the film on Shakespeare's 
Globe project that 
involves rebuilding 
a Globe-like theater 
in London. He explained 
that because of a 
redevelopment in 
the South bank area 
of London, the opportun- 
ity has arisen for the 
first time in 300 years 



to actually rebuild 

a Shakespearean style 
playhouse "more or 
less on the site which 
it originally occupied." 
He indicated that 
the Memorial Theater 
in London is nothing 
like the original circular 
stage. 

"The chance is now 
there; if it is wasted 
it will be another 
100 years at least" 
before there is another 
opportunity. Wickham 
said there is a great 
"urgence to get on 
with it." 

Wickham said that 
currently funds are 
being raised and planning 
is being done for the 
project. The foundation 
is scheduled to be 
laid on Shakespeare's 
birthday celebration 
next year on April 
23. "Funds are being 
raised all over the 
world-in England, 
Japan, Germany, Ameri- 
ca, Australia," he 
said. The International 
Globe Center has 
branches in North 
America in Chicago 
and New York. 

Wickham said approx- 
imatley $10 million 
dollars is needed, 
and approximately 
$7 million have been 
raised to date. When 
asked if the venture 
was possible, he said, 
"most feel it a near 
impossibility." He 
said there is already 
enough money to get 
the shell of the theater 
opened up, but that 
the Globe will have 
to have more than 
just a theater.

AKA pledges three new 
members; APA inactive 



by Johanna Burkett 

The Alpha Kappa 
Alpha sorority at Mill- 
saps College has expand- 
ed its membership 
by three after complet- 
ing its semester rush. 

Pledging AKA are 
Jackie Knox, Caroline 
Durham and Wardean 
Dodd. 

Alpha Phi Alpha, 
the men's fraternity, 
has become income 
inactive on campus 
this year, said Dean 
of Student Affairs 
Stuart Good. He said 
they are inactive this 
year both by their 
alumni in the area 
and by the college 
because they failed 
to have a membership 
of seven. If they fail 
to have seven members 
by the end of this 
academic school year, 
Good said, Alpha Phi 
Alpha will be decoloniz- 
ed and no longer a 
ized organization 



Currently there 
is one member of 
the group, Zeather 
Gladney, President. 
Good said Gladney 
had tried to rush early 
in the semester, but 
that he hadn't heard 
any results or follow- 
through from that 
meeting. 

Alpha Kappa Alpha 
utilizes different meth- 
ods during its rush 

from that of the other 
sororities on campus, 
said Demethous Morris, 
AKA member. Rush 
begins with a party 
open to all girls interest- 
ed in pledging AKA, 
the theme being "Get 
to Know AKA." The 
rushees are then asked 
to submit a letter 
stating why they are 
interested in AKA 
and what they can 
contribute to the soror- 
ity, said Morris. After 
the letters are reviewed, 
the rushees 
interviewed 

by the members who 



decide which girls 
will be accepted. Those 
who are accepted 
then begin a pledging 
program. 

The present members 
of AKA are Zelphia 
Rowe, Demethous 
Morris, Kimberly Stiff, 
Lajocelyn Walker 
and Jacqueline Love. 



Next Tuesday, November 20, elections will 
be held for two student senate vacancies and 
for basketball cheerleaders, according to Mac 
Bailey, SBA Second Vice President. 

The senate seats are in the off-campus and 
Bacot districts, and were vacated by Bernard 
Wolfe and Laurie Pruett. According to Bailey, 
these two senators violated the SBA policy 
on attendance that is in the Constitution. The 
policy says that senators can only miss three 
meetings if they do not provide a substitute, 
and four meetings if a substitute is provided 
for at least one of the meetings. Bailey added 
that the Senate had only held five meetings this 
semester. 

Students who are interested in running for 
either one of the seats should turn in a letter 
of intent to Mac Bailey by Monday, November 
19 at 5:00. The elections will be held from 11 
to 6 in the Student Union Tuesday. 

Tryouts for basketball cheerleaders will be 
held in the Bowl next Tuesday, November 20 
at 11:00 a.m., according to football cheerleader 
captain Tereau Pearson. Five females and five 
males will be elected. 

Pearson said that the school had had two 
separate squads for the basketball and football 
teams in the past, but last year didn't have 
two squads. She said that there were several 
reasons they were having separate tryouts this 
year. It was announced at the time of football 
cheerleader tryouts that there would be two 
squads and they wanted to stick to their word. 
Also, they wanted to give other students a chance 
to tryout for cheerleader if they wanted to.

OPINION 



Let us know 

what you're 
doing 

by Tracey R. Miller 



Now that things seem to be settling 
in around Millsaps Campus and the Purple 
and White will begin its weekly publications, 
I think I should take this opportunity 
to introduce the ways in which we handle 
things in order to get the paper out in 
the best possible manner each week. 

First of all, we do try to cover as much 
as we possibly can that would be of interest 
to the students and Millsaps community. 
We cannot, however, read minds. If you've 
got something going on or just some 



information about your group that we 
should know, let us know because we 
do miss some things. 

On the same line, our photographers 
try to get the best representation possible 
of events or just of individuals on campus. 
We select photographs for the paper 
on the basis of quality and representation 
of the event, nothing else. 

Letters to the editor are strongly encour- 
aged. We prefer brief, to the point letters 
that best express your feelings, good 
or bad, about campus situations. Space 
permitting, we can print longer letters 
or editorial commentaries. All letters 
must be signed by the author and a phone 
number must be included. Anonymous 
letters must be presented by the author 
to a member of the Purple and White 
staff in order to be considered. 

Campus advertising is also strongly 
encouraged. All campus groups get a 
50 percent discount on ads providing 
that they pay before publication. We 
can do almost anything with an ad, given 
enough time. 



Also, anyone is welcome to see the 
paper in production. Most work is done 
on the weekends and on Monday afternoon 
and night. Your suggestions as to how 
we do things are certainly welcome. 

Finally, please remember that this 
is a small college and earth-shattering 
news is not a daily occurrence. You have 
to let us know what you want to see 
in the Purple and White and we'll try 
to accommodate you in the best way 
we know how. You have all of the opportun- 
ity we can afford you for input — in the 
form of letters, an open staff room, 
open staff meetings, and even serving 
on the staff in some capacity. We need 
your help to get through the remaining 
eleven issues this semester, so let us 
hear from you!

MAILBOX 



Dear Editor, 

While attending 
Opening Convocation 
last Thursday* I was 
inspired by the pageantry 
and tradition that 
marked the opening 
of the academic year. 



I was not at all inspired, 
however, by the 
chauvanistic attitude 
that seemed to permeate 
the ceremony. 

There were two 
things in particular 
that disturbed me. 
First, there was the 
blatant error in the 



words to our Alma 
Mater printed in the 
program. I understood 
that the line "Alma 
Mater, dear old Millsaps, 
loyal sons are we" 
was changed several 
years ago to "loyal 
ones are we" in order 
to include those of 




us who would like 
to be loyal, but whose 
gender does not permit 
us to be sons. 

Second, SBA President 
John Pigott spoke 
briefly at the ceremony 
and praised the men 
who had provided 
leadership at Millsaps 
over the years. Hey 
John, what about the 
women leaders? 

Now, don't get me 
wrong. I realize that 
there was not a conspir- 
acy between John 
and the typist of the 
programs to use Opening 
Convocation to express 
chauvanistic attitudes. 
I am sure that both 
things cited above 
were unintentional, 
mere oversights. But 
that is precisely the 
point. It is just that 
casual and non-chalant 
attitude toward women's 
achievement and the 
progress that has been 
made toward equality 
that is most threaten- 
ing. Blatant discrimina- 
tion can sometimes 
be dealt with more 
easily than the kind 
of discrimination that 



easily than the kind 
of discrimination that 
creeps into everyday 
life, slowly eroding 
any progress that 
has been made. One 
word in a song sung 
only at Millsaps College 
on special occasions 
may seem like a small 
matter in the scheme 
of things, but it repre- 
sents much more than 
many people realize. 

Some traditions, 
like Opening Convoca- 
tion, should be continu- 
ed; other "traditions," 
like chauvanism, should 
be replaced and guarded 
against by strong convic- 
tion that is not diminish- 
ed by time. Opening 
Convocation was, 
for the most part, 
a ceremony combining 
tradition of the past 
with the promise of 
the future. This year, 
let's not forget that 
progress that has been 
made in the past and 
encompass it with 
the promise of that 
future. 

Sincerely, 
Lida Burris

SBA sends delegation to 
Job outlook good Youth Congress 



for college grads 



by Kelly Wilf ord 



College Press Service 

Bethlehem, PA— Job 
prospects for this 
year's college grads 
look great, the national 
association of campus 
placement officers 
says. 

In its annual survey 
of Fortune 500 compan- 
ies, the College Place- 
ment Council found 
the firms plan to hire 
eight percent more 
new grads than they 
did last year. 

Sixty-five percent 
of the companies antici- 
pate more economic 
growth in 1985. 

Even the current 
economic slowdown 
won't dampen spirits, 
CPC spokeswoman 
Judith Kayser claims. 

"1985 will be a better 
year to be coming 
out of college than 

1984, " she affirms. 
"We're expecting the 
expansion to continue. 
We think the slowdown 
is healthy, and the 
economy will begin 
to accelerate again 
at the beginning of 

1985. " 

While 1984's spring 
campus recruitment 
showed healthy gains 
over 1983, the worst 
recruitment season 
in 25 years, career 
and placement advisors 
are delighted with 
the predicted hiring 
upswing. 

"It's good news," 
Victor Lindguist, North- 
western University's 
director of placement 
exclaims. "It's almost 
like a return to the 
days of old. Like five 
years ago, anyway." 

Lindguist, author 
of the annual Endicott 
report, another survey 
of graduates' employ- 
ment opportunities, 
notes North western's 
recruitment calendar 
is booked far into 
spring, 1985. 

"Companies heavily 
into recruiting are 
showing up with more 
recruiters," he adds. 

"Recruitment is 



definitely up," agrees 
Gerry Taneuf , the 
University of -Nebraska's 
career "^"^^piacement 
director. "It's not 
so much in the number 
of companies, but 
in the number of posit- 
ions being offered." 

The best opportunities 
exist in computer 
science, accounting, 
and electrical and 
mechanical engineering, 
where hiring should 
increase seven percent, 
the CPA survey shows. 

Science, math, and 
other business and 
technical categories 
should increase as 
well, the survey says. 

"Engineering and 
technology were hit 
last by the downturn, 
but were the first 
to recover," Kayser 

cent, on p. 7 



For the first time 
in four years, the 
SBA is sponsoring 
a delegation to the 
Mississippi Youth 
Congress to be held 
next weekend here 
in Jackson, according 
to SBA President John 
Pigott. 

The delegation is 
made up of four mem- 
bers: Mac Bailey, 
Steven Holliday, Tracie 
McAlpin and David 
Setzer. The Youth 
Congress, which is 



modeled after the 
Mississippi state legis- 
lature, is primarily 
an educational exper- 
ience according to 
Pigott, with students 
passing bills and resolut- 
ions. The Congress 
will be made up of 
both college and high 
school students, with 

the high school students 
comprising the House 
of Representatives 
and college students 
making up the Senate. 

Each delegate is 
required to submit 



a bill concerning poli 
cal matters in t 

state of Mississippi, 
said Pigott. The sessions 
will be held November 
17-19 at the downtown 
Holiday Inn and in 
the state capitol. 

Other colleges prob- 
ably participating 
will be Delta State 
University, University 
of Mississippi, University 
of Southern Mississippi, 
Mississippi College 
and Mississippi State

Students take time from 
learning to "teach" 



by Allison Ourso 



With the high demands placed on Millsaps students by their coursework, 
it is easy to forget that we are part of a larger community. Several 
students, though, are taking time out of their studies to help others by 
tutoring disadvantaged children. 

Richard Grove, Richard Harb, Tracey Miller, Jo Watson, Tom Kearns, 
and Jack Denver are Circle K Volunteers for a tutoring program operated 
by "Operation Shoestring," an organization serving the Bailey Avenue 
community. These students meet with their "tutorees" for hourly session 
twice a week. The children are in first through fourth grades and need 
help primarily in math and reading. 

David Loper, Debbie Fisher, Shan Weisinger, Scott Drawe, Lisa Bowden, 
Holly Welch, and Alice Prichard all tutor as part of the "Reach" program 
as members of the Campus Ministry Team. The program of "Religious 
Education and Activities for the Community Handicapped." involves 
an hour each Saturday helping mentally retarded adults. 

Many tutors noted that the program entailed "a lot 
more work than I'd expected," but generally described 
the experience as "worth it." 

Tom Kearns said that he'd had "no idea that it would 
be as difficult as it turned out, no idea that a third grader 
does not know basic math concepts." He noted that 
although he feels that he makes progress each session 
with his student, "there's very little follow-though so 
its like starting back at zero each session." It's a challenge 
he enjoys though, because he works with the students 
not only academically, but as an individual, establishing 
a friendship and getting though the student's shyness. 
He expressed the basic goal of tutoring: "I have to make 
learning fun for him." 

"When we began, my student had a lot of trouble grasping 
the concept of multiplication. It really means a lot now 
to hear him say 'I did it!' after he gets a problem right," 
Jo Watson noted. 

Tracey Miller added that "students often have trouble 
with simple concepts like place value. Sometimes its 
frustrating to try to explain it, but we've made real 
progress." 

David Loper stressed that the experience is good because 
it "gets students out into the real world and they realize 
that there's more to life than what lies between the 
gates on North State Street." 




Circle K tutors meet at various times each 
week at Wells Memorial Church and most play 
learning games with . their students in addition 
to administering diagnostic tests. Campus 
Ministry Team tutors meet with their students 
on Saturdays. Students pictured above are Tom 
Kearns(upper left), Jo Watson (upper right) and 
Richard Harb (lower right). Photos by Bobby

for the Millsaps Intramural Soccer All-Stars 
against the Jackson Bud Men. The game was 
held on campus Saturday at 3:00 and ended 
in a 0-0 tie. Photo by Bobby Soileau. 



This past Saturday night, the Mill- 
saps soccer team finished out its 
season with a big win over Nicholls 
State by a score of four to two. 
Nicholls beat the Majors three to 
two earlier this year. 

The game was played under the 
lights in Pearl in front of a crowd 
of more than a thousand. The game 
was the finale of the Fall Soccer 
Festival in Pearl. The pitch, or playing 
field, was in great condition for 
the game. Junior wingman E.J. Croal 
was so impressed with it that he 
said, "It [the pitch] was probably 
one of the best I've played on sonce 
I've been at Millsaps." 

Nicholls scored first in the game, 
but Millsaps quickly retaliated with 
Michael Newman getting a goal 
off a rebounded shot. With Millsaps 
controlling the ball for most of 



the half, we were able to press 
Nicholls defense often. Toward 
the end of the half, the Majors scored 
a brilliant goal off of a direct kick. 
Sean Peenstra took the kick, but 
crossed the ball over to B.A. Holman, 
who volleyed it in from 15 yards 
out. According to Coach George 
Gober, the goal was easily "world 
class." The half ended with Millsaps 
two to one. 

The second half was again dominated 
by the Majors. Nicholls scored first 
again to tie the game, but Millsaps 
again came back to score quickly. 
B.A. Holman got the go-ahead goal 
with Newman getting the assist. 
Kevin Brune closed out the scoring 
with a goal assisted by E.J. Croal. 
Coach Gober commented after the 
game, "I was really pleased with 
the way we controlled the ball in 
the game. It was great to finish

Race for Super Bowl and Draft 



by Matt Kaye 



Eleven games are 
history and for the 
most part, each of 
the NFL teams has 
settled into their proper 
position. Except for 
the NFC East, all 
division winners are 
almost certain. 

In the East, the 
Cowboys, Redskins, 
Cardinals, and the 
Giants are slugging 
it out. Fortunately, 
for one of these teams, 
the bottom of the 
other divisions has 
fallen out so that 
the wild-card will 
come from this division 
also. Dallas must win 
the division to go. 
Too many losses within 
the division have killed 
them otherwise. Look 
for the Redskins to 
sneak ahead at the 
end. 

The NFL Central 
has given us a legit 
team from Chicago 
the Bears. Even 
With their loss yesterday, 
the Bears can begin 
to polish their game 
plan for the play-offs. 
For the other teams 
to rebound next year, 
new head coaches 
need to be at the helm. 

In the West, the 
49ers have been coasting 
since day one. They 
are the class of the 
NFL and will be the 
representative in the 



Super Bowl. 

The AFC West is 
a tough division. Denver 
looks to have a hold 
on the top, but the 
Raiders and Seahawks 
are nipping at their 
heels. My guess is 

that just like last 
year the Raiders, 
beaten twice by an 
inferior team (Seahawks 
last year, Denver 
this year) will rise 
and get revenge in 
the playoffs. 

The Raiders opponent 
in the AFC final will 
come from the AFC 
East - the Miami Dol- 
phins. The only question 

for the Dolphins is 
whether or not they 
can go undefeated. 



And in the 
Central, we have 



AFC 



The Houston Oilers 
dealt themselves a 
severe setback when 
they won Sunday 
Now the Buffalo Bills 

are in position to draft 
first. Don't count 
the Browns out yet. 
They are only one 
game off the pace. 

All in all, the NFL 
season has gone as 
expected. Thought 

for the week: Julius 

Erving, the supposed 

dominant force who 

has led his team to 

only one championship, 

cannot and never could 
hold a candle to Larry 
Bird.

NBA season now "in focus" REVIEWS 



Jim Benton 



Despite the fact that the '84-85 
NBA basketball season is barely 
two weeks old, some things are 
coming into focus. 

First, the Sampson-Olajuwon exper- 
iment currently being conducted 
in Houston seems to be working. 
At press time the Houston rockets 
record stood at 7-0. Olajuwon seems 
to have enough brute strength and 
raw talent to make the transition 
into the NBA despite having played 
for Guy Lewis in college. 

Secondly, the Cleveland Cavaliers 
appear to be continuing their tradition 
of "professional" basketball. In order 
to preserve this tradition, the master- 
mind in Cleveland traded leading 
rebounder Cliff Robinson. Look 
for the Cavs to be one of the league's 
most consistent teams - consistently 
horrible! 

The situation remains essentially 
the same in Los Angeles, Philadelphia 
and Boston. The Lakers have the 
same crew that took them to the 
finals. The Sixers strengthened them- 
selves by drafting Charles (the happy 
man) Barkley. Of course, the Celtics 
first round draft choice was a flop, 
Michael Young has already been 
waived out of the league, other 
than that, the Celtics are about 
the same. 

Two teams that could make some 
noise this year include the Washington 
Bullets and the Detroit Pistons. 
The Bullets added the previously 
mentioned Cliff Robinson, who should 
be grateful to be out of Cleveland 
whether he was playing basketball 
or not! Also, Washington helped 
themselves by picking up Gus Williams 
from Seattle. As for the Pistons, 



their stars, Tripuka, Thomas and 
Laimbeer, are continuing to improve. 
Plus they picked up the underrated 
Dan Roundfield who will make the 
Detroit squad Championship-calibur 

Some faces you won't see this 
year and probably won't miss either 
include the following newly-unemploy- 
ed players: the worthless 6'11", 
290 pounds Geoff Crompton; the 
multi-talented Darren Tillis; the 
once promising Tom Piotrowski; 
the never was promising Mike Gibbon 
and how can the league continue 
without Brant (the moronadon) Wide- 
ner? 

All in all, the NBA seems to be 
striving towards parity which will 
provide us with an interesting winter. 
Look for the Lakers, Celtics or 
Sixers to provide a 1984-85 champion.

Inc.'s quarterly Job 
Outlook Survey finds 
"it's no longer head 



and shoulders above 
the rest." 

People in the North- 
west, hardest hit by 
the recession, can 
expect a 25 percent 
hiring increase this 

quarter, she adds. 

"More companies 
are wanting to come 
here to recruit," reports 
Laure Paul of Drew 
University, which 

emphasizes liberal 
arts. 

"Small business 
will provide expanding 
opportunities for liberal 
arts students," CPC's 
Kayser observes. 
"Almost all new jobs 
in the last few years 
were created by small 
business, compared 
to the millions of 
jobs lost by Fortune 
500 companies." 

The CPC survey 



predicts a one percent 
small business hiring 
decrease, but Kayser 
notes only a few are 
represented in the 
survey. 

There are clouds 
in the hopeful economic 
outlook, however, 
North western's Lindguist 
warns. 

"Optimism about 
next year is cautious, 
not unbridled," he 
stresses. "Many major 
firms are doing little 
recruitment. Instead, 
they're trying to protect 
their old staffs and 
are- expressing some 
concern about the 
second half of 1985." 

Lindguist notes 
the large federal debt 
discourages most experts 
from predicting what 
will happen to money 
markets or, ultimately, 
employment. 



REO is boring; 
J. Geils well 

worth purchase 

by Blake Smith _ 

REO SPEEDWAGON WHEELS ARE TURNING 

If Kevin Cronin's wheels are turning at all 
when this collection of re-worded chord progres- 
sion was written, I would be shocked. This album 
is just last album's song with different words. 
Even the best song on the album ("Can't Fight 
This Feeling") is just last album's best song 
("Keep on Loving You") in a different key with 
different words. Listen to it and you will under- 
stand what I'm saying. 

The only things this album has going for it 
are the vocals of Kevin Cronin and the instrumen- 
tation. But how can these assets accomplish 
anything when Kevin is singing the same old 
vocal line with the same old chord progression? 

Don't bother.

J. GEILS BAND YOU'RE GETTING EVEN WHILE

If you want something different in terms 
of instrumentation, the new J. Geils Band album 
You're Gettin Even While I'm Gettin Odd is 

sure to tickle your fancy. Every song starts 
out with some strange introduction, including 
one guitar solo comprised solely of overtones: 
sheer quality. These guys know how to take 
a potentially good song, do some really strange 
things to it and turn it into a masterpiece. 
Although the lyrics lack something at times, 
it almost has no effect on the musicality 
portrayed by the group. 
Well worth the purchase.

CTION, 
from p. 1 



Pearson said in the 
past that by the time 
basketball season 
came, some of the 
football cheerleaders 
were apathetic about 
cheering. She said 
with new tryouts, 
they hope to get students 
who are really inter- 
ested. The football 
cheerleaders who 
want to continue as 
basketball cheerleader 
will have to try out 
and be judged all over 
again. 

Pearson said they 
were trying to raise 
the standards for the 
cheerleaders by having 
height, weight, and 
stunt requirements 
for everyone trying 
out. In the past these 
requirements had 
been set, she said, 
but not strictly followed, 
so this time the require- 
ments are going to 
enforced before 
student can tryout. 
She said the height 
and weight requirements 
mainly existed so 



be 



th« 



leaders perform can 
be done with greater 
ease. For example, 
she said in the past,, 
they have had girls 
that may have met 
the weight requirement, 
but were so tall that 
it was hard for the 
male cheerleaders 
to do any stunts with 
them. The stunts requir- 
ed are stunts that 
this yeaf , s x ^squad or 
squads in the past 
have done. Pearson 
said this requirement 
will help the squad 
in the future when 
they are trying to 
teach stunts, and also 
helps eliminate girls 
"who really aren't 
cut out to be cheer- 
leaders." All of the 
students trying out 
for cheerleader will 
have to do a brand-new 
cheer and sideline 
dance. Pearson said 
these would both be 
made up by Tana Brown- 
ing, a 1984 graduate 
who was the cheerleader 
captain last year. 

Pearson said "In 
future years, we hope- 
we won't have to set 
these standards." She 



added that the girls 
who are the best quali- 
fied ones shouldn't 
worry. She said that 
in the past, girls who 
were outstanding cheer- 
leaders in high school 
didn't try out at Millsaps 
because they thought 
the squad wasn't as 
good as their high 
school squads. This 
is the reason for setting 
the standards, she 
said. "This way, the 
really good girls will 
want to try out. There 
is no reason why Millsaps 
can't have as good 
a squad as any state 
school." 

The girls planning 
on trying out at press 
time are Jennifer 
Wofford, Julia Jones, 
Kay K. Regan, Emily 
Gregory, Priscilla 
Childress, Courtney 
Egan and Tereau Pear- 
son. The males trying 
out are Bill Lang, 
Mike Bacile, Tony 
Lobred, Jamie Ware 
and Cullum Pope. 
Pearson said that 
practices were held 
in the afternoon and 
anyone else who wants 
to tryout should notify 
either her or Bill Lang.

Millsaps' Greeks contribute 
to less fortunate 



by Kelly Wilf ord 



With Thanksgiving approaching, 
over the past two weekends, several 
Millsaps fraternities and sororities 
have been volunteering their time 
to help those less fortunate. 

The weekend of November 9-10, 
i the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity 
I sponsored their annual "Pantry Raid." 
I The Lambda Chi's began their project 
; by distributing 1500 flyers in the 
Woodland Hills and Belhaven areas 
on November 9, then spent the next 
two days collecting the donations. 
The end result was 373 full bags 
of groceries. The food was delivered 
to the Stewpot Food Pantry, which 
provides free food to needy working 
people. 

This past weekend, the Kappa 
Sigma fraternity and the Kappa 



Delta sorority held a cookout on 
Saturday from 11-3 for 32 children 
from the Methodist Children's Home. 
After the cookout, they showed 
movies at the Kappa Sigma house 
before the children went back to 
the Home. 

Also on Saturday, the Phi Mu's 
held their "Run for Hope," which 
was held to benefit Project HOPE, 
which is their philanthropy. HOPE 
stands for Health Opportunities 
for People Everywhere, and helps 
in health education. 

The five-mile run began at River- 
side, went through Belhaven, and 
ended at Riverside. Millsaps senior 
Jack Denver was the male winner 
with a time of 36 minutes, and fresh- 
man Lynn Griffen won the female 
division with a time of 41:51. The 
run raised about $400 for Project 
HOPE.

SBA examines 
speaker series 



I by Kelly Wilf ord 

The possibility of 
: having more speakers 
; on campus in the coming 
I months is being 
considered by a 
committee that was 
formed to look at 
how to spend the Senate 
money budgeted for 
speakers on campus. 

In a suggestion by 
senator Lee Thornton, 
the idea was to bring 
in different speakers 
every Thursday night 
with discussions follow- 
ing. Thornton and 
professor Dewey Meyers 
wanted to form a 
group something like 
the Wu Li seminars 
held last year with 
the money budgeted 



for speakers. SBA 
! President John Pigott 
Isaii that the format 
would be a 30-minute 
presentation on Thursday 
night in the Recital 
Hall or AC 215, then 

have discussion follow- 
ing. If there is more 
discussion, those who 
attend the discussion 
can continue the conver- 
sation at the home 
of Dr. Meyers. 

Pigott also said 
the idea is to bring 
in speakers that "really 
want to speak" as 
opposed to "professional 
speakers" who ask 
high fees. He said 
the speakers they 
were looking at would 
only ask to be paid

OPINION 



Dorm problems 



by Tracey Miller 

As the post mid-term, pre-Thanksgiving 
cram period reaches its height and the 
last-minute study sessions are being 
held, some students around campus feel, 
that dormitory life is not as comfortable 
as it could be. Some complaints concern 
heat, while others focus on the lack 
)f study space that we reported on in 
m earlier Purple and White. 

Ezelle residents have complained that 
the heat in the hallways and stairwells 
is "unbearable," and comparable to the 
heat in the individual rooms, which can 
at least be combated by open wiridows 
and electric fans. Two weekends ago 
when the heat was turned on in the girls' 
dorms, nothing could be done about the 
excessive degree of heat that was circulating 
into the rooms because such reports 



can only be made on work days (Monday 
through Friday). 

Most students should realize that heating 
and cooling systems are not operated 
in individual rooms, but in, as in Galloway 
and Bacot, a wing by wing situation, 
and, as in Ezelle and Franklin, sectional 
situations. However, there are solutions 
available, no matter how primitive. If 
a maintenance man comes to your room 
or hall with a thermometer, bear with 
it. Excessive heat or cold is reported 
as soon as it is detected and the problem 
is hopefully taken care of before anyone 
gets heat stroke or frostbite. 

So, if the Ezelle heat is as bad as residents 
claim, the resident assistants better 
brush up on their first aid in order to 
treat the victims of it. Otherwise, the 
building authorities on campus need 
to get on the ball and make some quick 
adjustments. 

Other dorm complaints concern a lack 
of study space in Sanders dorm. As a 
two year resident of Sanders, I can easily 
say that study conditions in Sanders 
are not top-notch. 

Last year, and in years prior, the resident 
director's apartment has been available 
for study rooms since only resident assistants 



LETTERS 



were hired for the up-keep of Sanders. 
This year, however, in the housing crunch 
that occurred with this year's high enrollment, 
students were housed in the apartment. 
This leaves the only available space 
in Sanders to study in the kitchen. Also 
in the kitchen are the cooking facilities, 
the television, and the closest private 
space to talk on the hall phone. 

One alternative that residents of Sanders 
have found this year is studying at tables 
in the hallway. These tables were placed 
in the individual rooms for use as a desk 
since the rooms don't come equipped 

with them. During the semester many 
residents have made use of these tables 
for late night studying within the dorm 
after the library or student union have 
closed. However, because of fire code 
regulations, the tables will soon be moved 
into the rooms or into the attic, said 
Dean of Student Affairs Stuart Good. 
The result of this move is that once 
again the residents of Sanders are being 
deprived of much needed in-dorm study 
space. 

Suggestions received from Dean Good 
were that the student union was open 
for study, but it only remains open until 
midnight. Elsinore and Sullivan-Harrell

DeLorean to join campus lecture circuit 



booked 



tentatively 



Colleg 



New York, NY - Former 
auto industry magnate 
John DeLorean is 
planning to join the 
campus lecture circuit 
soon. 

Once General Motors' 
"golden boy," DeLorean 
recently was acquitted 
of charges he smuggled 
cocaine to raise money 
to bail out his foundering 
DeLorean Motor Compa- 
ny. 

Supporters insist 
he was set up and 
framed by the Federal 
Bureau of Investigation. 

Now DeLorean is 



to give seven lectures 
to tell his side of the 
story, says Bill Stankey 
of New York's Greater 

Talent Network agency. 

"John has agreed 
in principle to the 
tour," Stankey says. 
"We're waiting for 
him to okay the dates." 

The initial tour 
dates include "primarily 
colleges," but Stankey 
thinks there are only 
a few schools that 
can afford DeLorean's 
$12,000 to $15,000 
speaker's fee. 

If he finalizes the 
schedule, DeLorean's 
first post-acquittal 



Harmon answers 
forum questions 



Contributed by 
Dean Stuart Good 



At President Harmon's open forum last Wednes- 
day the following questions were asked: | 
1. Why cannot Bacot have HBO? The local cablevi- 
sion company is licensed only to provide HBO 
as residential service. Arrangements with HBO 
specifically prohibit the use of HBO in public 
areas such as lounges, 'restaurants, and bars. 

Cablevision has determined that our lounges 
are considered public areas. Hence, HBO cannot 
be extended to Bacot. 

Z. Why cannot there be additional telephone 
lines into Bacot? At the present time there are 
five incoming/outgoing lines in use at Bacot. 

Increased service would require additional trunk 
lines. The College will review the present service 
and make a determination of the necessity for 
additional lines.

lecture is Nov. 27. 
at Michigan's Schoolcraft 

College. 

"He has a natural 
involvement with 
the Detroit area," 
says Pat Newman, 
Schoolcraft's coordinator 
of student activities. 

"He started his career - 
here." 

DeLorean gained 
auto industry prominence 
in the mid-sixties 
as the creator of GM's 

Pontiac Firebird, and 
later established his 
ill-fated auto company 
in Ireland. 

Newman expects 
good student and com- 
munity response to 



DeLorean. 

"There are lots of 
people who want to 
come see the famous," 
he contends. "People 
are very interested 
in how he got into 
his situation with 
the FBI's surveillance 
of 90,000 business 
people, Newman says. 

Greater Talent's 
Stankey confirms 
that DeLorean's "corpor- 
ate espionage" topic 
covers government 
investigation of private 
business. 

"Government scrutiny 

of foreign and U.S. 
companies is a brand 

new thing," he adds. 

"It elicits a lot of 



interest." 

Stankey admits 
DeLorean's drawing 
power depends on 
"a certain mystique, 
and the public's fascina- 
tion with people in 
the public eye." 

If DeLorean confirms 
the tour, he will join 
politician John Anderson, 
Watergate figure G. 
Gordon Liddy, "gonzo" 
journalist Hunter S. 
Thompson, and Chicago 
Seven co-defendents 
Abbie Hoffman and 
Jerry Rubin, billed 
at "Yippies vs. Yuppies: 
Sixties Idealism vs. 
Eighties Realism," 
as a major draw on 
the campus lecture 
circuit this season.

Millsaps Sports Release 

Jackson, MS - The 
Millsaps men's basketball 
team began the season 
this past Saturday 
by taking second place 
in the Millsaps Dr. 
Pepper Classic. The 
Majors opened up 
the tourney by beating 
Tougaloo 68-60 before 
falling in the finals 
against Rhodes College 
59-57. 

Head Coach Don 
Holcomb's troups came 
out for the season 
opener in a blaze. 
Center Kevin Russell 
led a balanced attack 
with 22 points and 
eight rebounds. Other 
double-figure scorers 
included Billy Waits, 
Kevin Austin and Jimmy 
Carr with 10 apiece. 
The Majors trailed 
midway through the 
first half before a 
17-6 spurt put the 
Majors in control. 
Millsaps increased 
their lead to 35-25 
at intermission. In

the second half, the 
Majors used a stingy 
defense to keep Tougaloo 
from ever mounting 
a major threat. The 
Bulldogs could do 
no better than cut 
the lead to four at 
the 7:22 mark. Millsaps, 
1-0 after the Tougaloo 
game, then looked 
to square off against 
Rhodes College in 
the championship 
on Saturday. Rhodes 
had beaten Trinity 
College earlier 67-56. 

The first half of 
the game against Rhodes 
went much like the 
Millsaps - Tougaloo 
game except the Majors 
found themselves 
on the short end of 
the stick at the halftime 
trailing 34-25. The 
Majors led only one 
time in the game at 
4-2. Rhodes blistered 
the nets shooting 70 
percent in the first 
half and finishing 
the game at 62 percent. 

Millsaps made several 
runs in the second 
half cutting the 



Lynxcats' lead to one 
on several occasions, 
but could never climb 
over the hump and 
into the lead. The 
Majors were led in 
scoring by Jimmy 
Carr with 14 points. 
Billy Waits and Jim 
Benton pitched in 
13 and 12 respectively. 

The consolation 
game between Trinity 
and Tougaloo was 
won by the Tougaloo 
Bulldogs 67-55. Tougaloo 
was led by center 
Jerry Barnes with 
19 points. 

The All-Tournament 
team was made up 
of Billy Ryan (Rhodes), 
Jimmy Carr (Millsaps), 
Terry Deckard (Trinity), 
Jerry Barnes (Tougaloo), 
Rozelle Henderson 
(Rhodes) and Billy 
Waits (Millsaps). 

The Majors, now 
1-1, travel to St. Louis 
to play Westminister 
College Nov. 20 and 
Maryville Nov. 21. 
Millsaps returns home 
to play Lane College 
Nov. 30.

XTC hits make 
great album 

by Reed Hubbard 



XTC - The Big Express -**** 

When a group releases an album containing 
their greatest hits, it is meant to be the crowning 
achievement, containing the best of the best. 
About eight months ago, XTC released Waxworks, 
an album containing some of the finest music 
released in the last several years by one of Britain's 
best bands. It came eight months too soon. 

XTC has just released an album which is hard 
to describe in words. The Big Express contains 
some of the very best music this writer has heard 
in a long time. For starters both sides slam the 
listener with a pair of outstanding songs worthy 
of national attention. Side one starts right off 
with "Wake Up" and goes right into "All You 
Pretty Girls," both of which catch the ear of 
any listener with any preference. Another side 
one smash is "Seagulls Screaming Kiss Her, Kiss 
Her," which no one can overlook. Side two is 
equally as impressive, if not more, by starting 
off with possibly the best song in this collection, 
"The Everyday Story of Smalltown," and leading 
right into the fun, enjoyable "I Bought Myself 
a Liarbird." Another notable track on this side 
is "I Remember the Sun" with its excellent alliter- 
ation. 

It is very hard to write about an album that 
one must hear to obtain the full effect. Recom- 
mendation for the purchase of this album is one 
hundred percent positive. Any music fan that 
skips this album, is cheating himself out of one 
of the best albums of the year. The British press, 
which is decclaring Welcome to the Pleasure 
Dome by Frankie Goes to Hollywood as the number 
one album of the year, should turn its biased 
ear to this release. In a day when all that is heard 
is either heavy metal, pseudo-soul, or bubble 
gum schmaltz, one feels refreshed, revived, 
and excited to hear the freshness of the likes 
of XTC. Passing this one up would be a grave 
mistake.

were other suggestions, 
but many girls do 
not want to be roaming 
the campus alone 
during the late-night/- 
early-morning hours. 
One initial suggestion 
was that roommates 
would have to understand 
the lights being kept 
on all night long. Some 
roommates, however, 
don't see this as part 
of the housing agree- 
ment. 

Good did say that 
the new dorm to be 
built for next year 
would help compensate 
for these problems, 
but for now nothing 
can be done. He did 
say they would look 
into the problem for 
next semester. (The 
problem doesn't exist 
in such a bad form 
as it does in Sanders, 
because all four of 
the other dorms have 
full lobbies and some 
have lobbettes.) 

So, it seems there 
are no answers for 
Sanders residents 
as far as study space 
is concerned, and 
as exams draw near, 
this is a serious problem - 

^^MMITTEE^ixmy^l^ 

for expenses. An ex- 
ample of someone 
they are considering 
is Mississippi artist 
Walker Anderson's 
daughter, who lives 
on the coast. Pigott 
also said that this 
"wouldn't be funding 
a Wu Li seminar, but J 
bringing in a speaker ' 
to provide discussion." 
Each speaker would 
have to be approved 
by the Senate before 
an invitation is extended 
to them since it is 
not a specifically — 
budgeted item over 
$100. 

Thornton said one 
of the reasons they 
wanted to start this 
is because it would 
foster "a good atmos- 
phere between teachers 
and students" and 
it provides a casual 
atmosphere that brings 
off-campus students 
and residents together. 

A committee was 
formed to look into 
this more and the 
Senate will vote on 
it at their next meeting 
next Monday night. 



Delaney, Fonda Hughes, Karen Kuebel and Lisa 
Manyfield. 

Bailey emphasized that in this senate election, 
only students from these two resident districts 
are allowed to vote. 

Concerning today's basketball cheerleader 
elections, Bailey added that the elections 
committee and elections chairperson are not 
associated with the cheerleader's election in 
form of implementation, but in sanction only.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE 



VOLUME 103, NUMBER 24 



Pigott reviews year 



by Johanna Burkett 

With the yearly arrival of SBA elections, 
frequently come criticisms of the SBA. John 
Pigott, who is the current President of the SBA, 
realizes that in the past the student government 
at Millsaps College has been seen as "a joke." 
But Pigott feels that there has been improvement 
luring his term as President. 

Part of the problem, according to Pigott, was 
that the Senators did not know what was expected 
of them. Senators were often intimidated by 
the use of parliamentary procedure and didn't 
know how to write bills. The current administration 
has made several changes in furthering the involve- 
ment and activity of the Senate. 

Each Senator is given a Senator's Packet, said 
Pigott, at the beginning of his or her term. The 
packet contains materials to familiarize the 
Senators with factors of student government 
such as parliamentary procedure, the absentee

Bill requests longer AC hours 



by Kelly Wilf ord 



The Millsaps Senate unanimously 
passed a bill last Monday night, 
November 26, requesting that the 
Academic Complex be opened 24 
hours a day for studying purposes. 

The bill, which was introduced 
by Senator Chris Cheek and seconded 
by Senator Perry Key, was introduced 
because of several complaints from 
students about a lack of study space, 
said Cheek. He also said that he 
had talked with Dean Robert King 
about the problem. King said that 
nothing could be done about the 
problem this semester, but that 
next semester they would try to 
extend the hours. Cheek said the 
Academic Complex probably wouldn't 
be able to remain open 24 hours 
a day even next semester. 

Cheek said the primary argument 



the administration had against keeping 
the building open was the costs 
involved. He said "We feel that 
the needs of the students are simply 
not being met by the school and 
that the cost of an extra security 
guard in nominal as compared to 
the benefits received from the 
additional study areas afforded 
by the Academic Complex." 

The bill reads 'WHEREAS: It is 
necessary for art students to work 
in the art lab at odd hours (just 
as science majors) 

WHEREAS: Study areas for all 
students is insufficient due to crowded 
dorms. 

WHEREAS: A safe environment 
for coed studying is needed, 
BE IT RESOLVED: that the Academic 
Complex ' remain open 24 hours a 
day with a security guard as needed 
on duty for the protection of the 
students occuping the facility."

Campaign styles 

advance to 
higher standards 



by Tracey Miller 



As my tenure as editor draws to a 
close with this issue, I find so many things 
to advocate in the paper that I never 
got around to. These many things, especially 
concerning student government and the 
bickering with John Pigott that I leave 
behind, will have to be considered by 
the new editor. After all, SBA administrations 
don't change until February! (For you, 
JP.) 

Of the many thank yous that I could 
ake, Best thanks go to Kelly and Jo 




and Mark for everything, and to Beau, 
Debbie and Lida. Thanks also to Matt 
and Mark Ricketts, who have been with 
me from the start and now continue 
on with the new staff, and to all the 
newcomers this semester. Finally, thanks 
to David, super freshman, and to Greg 
for support. 

One final observation, now that my 
farewell is over, is on the SBA election 
being held today. I can remember two 
years ago when I first began working 
on the Elections Committee, when everyone 
brought out their cheap typing paper 
and magic markers to make campaign 
signs. Boy have we come a long way! 

Pigott made the general observation 
that even the commercial overtones 
from the recent presidential election 
apply to Millsaps. Packaging, in the way 
of campaign signs, has become the contest. 

The thought for everyone to consider 
as they vote is just where the real contest 
lies. Not in who has the best signs, but 
who has the best ability to do the jobs 
defined. This election we seem to not 
have several choices because three of 
the SBA offices, overlooking possible 
write-in candidates, are running un-opposed. 
Pigott said he ran last year because 
he had a strong belief in student government 



and in not letting the office of president 
be filled quite that easily. This year, 
we have a strong candidate who has 
seemingly "scared the competition off" 

and is running unopposed. When considerin 
the other two unopposed offices, first 
vice president and secretary, we can 
say that once again, apathy prevails. 

I hope that since we are settled into 
the near end of the election, voters will 
take into consideration not only their 
privilege of voting, but their obligation 
to vote. After all, as the page five editorial 
says, these people are spending the money 
that so much controversy arose over 
earlier this year concerning the P&W, 
etc. 

Take the election seriously. It's so 
important to have good leaders, and 
if you don't vote, you can't complain.

POSTER 

MISUNDERSTANDING 

To the Editor, 

Recently, during 



the current SBA 
elections, some of 
Second Vice President 
Mac Bailey's publicity 



flyers were inadvertently 
torn down by my 
campaign workers. 
These flyers announced 
the deadline for letters 
of intent, which had 
since passed. However, 




near the bottom, they 
also announced that 
candidates' speeches 
would be heard Tuesday, 
Dec. 4 at 11a.m. Failure 
to see this second 
date caused the flyers 
to be removed. As 
a candidate I know 
the frustration one 
feels when his posters 



A ChAl&tmoA Song 



are removed. At this 
time I would like to 
apologize to Mac and 
assure him that the 
incident was a simple 
mistake and purely 
unintentional. 

Sincerely, 
Ralph Kaiser

Election brings about 

diverse views 



by Tracey Miller 
photos by Bobby Soileau 



Today's Student Body 
elections boast a slate full o 
with many views on the 
of student government, 
dates vie for five posit 
and having given candidate 
earlier today, are now payin 
to voter turnout at the i 
11a.m. to 6p.m. in the stuc 
With the exception of writ 
dates, Presidential candi 
Bailey, First Vice President 
Patrick Patrick and 





MAC BAILEY: 

It was my privilege 
to be directly exposed 
to the last two adminis- 
trations and benefit 
from the exposure. 
Through the combination 
of the idealism of 
Billy Wheeler and 
the pragmatism of 
John Pigott, along 
with the realization 
of when to withdraw 
and when to forge 
onward, I believe I 
can be instrumental 
in producing a student 
government that the 
students can respect 
and confide in as their 
representative to 
the college administra- 
tion* 



PATRICK PATRICK 

In my two years 
as a senator, I tried 
to serve my fellow 
students to the best 
of my abilities. I feel 
I can serve in a more 
direct capacity as 
your first vice president 
and will use my experience 
with the two preceding 
governments, along 
with my own ideas, 
to advance the students' 
needs. If elected I 
plan to continue my 
other campus activities, 
however, only scholastics 
will take precedence 
over my job as first 
vice president. 



BRENT ALEXANDER 

"Fair elections and 
adequate representation 
of students are important 
to the function of 
any college campus. 
As an integral part 
of the office that 
I seek, elections must 
be well published and 
organized in such 
a way so that student 
interaction in the 
activities of Millsaps 
are maximized." 



ED HUTCHISON 

"I believe my experience 
during two terms in 
the student senate 
qualify me for this 
position. As an independent, 
I pledge to fairly represent 
the interets of all 
elements of the student 
body. 




RALPH KAISER 

"The position of 
second vice president 
is concerned with 
running elections, 
so it is very important 
that the proper procec 
are followed. However 
the greatest challenge 
of the office is to 
get people out to vote 
Therefore, election 
publicity is paramount 
to insuring proper 
representation. If 
elected, I plan to marl 
each election in such 
a way that would mat 
students want to vote 
This, in turn, should 
lay to rest the charge 
of voter apathy among 
Millsaps students."

candidate David Loper are running 
unopposed.. 

Student Body President, according 
to the Millsaps College Student 
Government Association Constitution, 
presides as chairperson over all 
student senate meetings, serves 
as an ex-officio member of all senate 
committees, acts as the official 
host and representative of the students 
to all dignitaries and student groups 
visiting on campus and serves as 
an ex-officio member of the Board 



of Trustees. 

The first vice president of the 
SB A acts as chairperson of the Social 
Affairs Committee and the second 
vice president serves as chairperson 
of the Elections Committee. The 
SBA treasurer chairs the Financial 
Affairs Committee, while the secreta- 
ry serves as chairperson of the Senate 
Information Committee. 

Below, each candidate expresses 
his or her views on the individual 
offices being sought. 




JIM BOS WELL 

"My experience 
as a senator the past 
two years has taught 
me how to work with 
the senate, an important 
qualification for the 
office of treasurer. 
In addition, I proposed 
the method currently 
used to approve and 
report SBA expenditures 
as a part of a task 
group established 
for that purpose. As 
treasurer, I plan to 
pursue ways to get 
more access to student 
funds controlled by 
the administration 
and to look into computer- 
izing the SBA financial 
records." 



FONDA HUGHES 

"SBA is the highest 
form of student representa- 
tion on this campus, 
as far as government 
goes. The position 
of Treasurer needs 
to be filled by someone 
who is dependable, 
responsible, and trustworthy. 
The treasurer should 
be willing to keep 
efficient financial 
records and have good 
relations with the 
administration. I consider 
myself a worthy candidate 
for this position." 



DAVID LOPER: 

"I hope to continue 
my position as secretary. 
I feel that I have established 
a more efficient system 
of communication 
and an increase in 
the accountability 
of the secretary position. 
My experience as 
an SBA officer has 
taught me the importance 
of a unified group 
of officers and I will 
try to promote such 
a group, so that a 
more active student 
government and student 
body will result." 



You ought 
to vote 



This article appeared in last year's election 
issue, and we have been asked to reprii t 
this quite appropriate editorial, 

Student elections are [today]. Net 
much has been heard about them, because 
candidates are probably as busy as tie 
rest of us at this point in the semester, 
and have not been able to get posters 
out around campus. Hopefully the candi- 
dates' speeches this morning will spark 
the campaign. 

Given the somewhat lackadaisical 
attitude of Millsaps students, an appeal 
for turnout at the polls seems necessary. 
The role of the Student Executive boaid 
[now SBA] of the Millsaps Student Goveri - 
ment Association is very important; 
the Presidency more so. The officers 
often meet with the Board of Trustees, 
and the President sits on the Student 
Affairs Committee of the Board. 

And the officers also steer the Senate 
by initiating much of the legislation 
debated. 

The [SBA] officers should be diligent, 
innovative and capable of raising enthusia- 
sm among the students for the student 
programs. So the [SBA] is the arm of 
the student body, but more importantly, 
they must represent the students. 

This idea of representation is very 
important in a democracy, but it boils 
down to this: The officers, must act in 
the interest of the people who privileged 
them with the office they hold. Tl is 
is the beauty of the system, that a public 
office does not belong to the office holder, 
but to the public that elects the office 
holder. This, in miniature, applies to 
Millsaps, and this is why to be eligil le 
to vote is to have a share, a voice, in 
the way things are done. It takes almost 
as much responsibility to vote as it dc es 
to seek office. Or at least it should. 

If all this fails to persuade you to stop 
and vote, consider this: 

These people are going to decide how 
to spend [$66,000] of our money, about 
$40 a head for the Student Association 
Fee. 

Now, isn't that a good reason to vote?

policy, sample agendas, 
bills, and budgets, 
as well as a copy of 
the Constitution. 
In an attempt to 

make the Senators 
more active in govern- 
ment, they were told 
that they would be 

given preference over 
people who were not 
in Senate, in selecting 
student committees, 
said Pigott. 



Other improvements 
have been made in 
the procedure for 
submitting bills, Senators 
being kept more up 
to date, and accurate 

minutes being kept 
at the Senate meetings 
for the first time 
in at least five years, 
said Pigott. There 

were also no scandals 
in regard to the budget, 
as in the past. 

"I think it's a lot 

more active than it 
was"," Pigott said. 
"It can set better... 



We've done every- 
thing we thought of 
to improve commun- 
ication and to educate 
the Senators." 

The purpose of the 
SBA elections is to 

get people who are 
a representative cross — 
section with good 
minds and integrity, 
according to Pigott. 

"That's ail ycu need 
for a good Senate.. .There 
are some really sharp 
people [in the Senate]. ..I 
think they've done 
a real good job."

Problems without 
a playoff 



by Matt Kaye 




The college football 
regular season has 
come to a close, leaving 
us waiting, waiting, 
and waiting some 
more for questions 
to be answered. The 
problem is that parity 
has biten college foot- 
all. Teams like Texas 
and Alabama can't 
just step on the field 
and say, "We're here; 
Lights out." The rewards 
for successful seasons 
are right around the 
corner - BOWLS. Here's 
what to look for in 
a nutshell. 

In the Holiday Bowl, 
No. 1 BYU clashes 
with Michigan. The 
Mormons have not 
played competition 
all year, but Coach 
Bo's record in bowl 
ay is pathetic. Regard- 
ess, I like the Wolver- 
ines 28-17. 

Next we move to 
the "majors." . In the 
Orange, the Boomer 
Sooner Express opposes 
the Washington Hushies. 
The Huskies' can't 
score and they're playing 
the best defense in 
college football. That 
adds up to a walkover 
for Oklahoma. LSU 
backed into the Sugar 
to play Nebraska, 
but at least they're 
there. Still, Nebraska 
is solid, top to bottom 
and they should handle 
the Tigers without 
a problem. The only 
thing the Cotton can 
boast is the Heisman 
winner. Boston College 
opposes the Houston 
Cougars. If Houston 
is all the SWC can 
send, they've got prob- 
lems. Flutie should 
take care of the Cotton 
Bowl records since 
the bowl is usually 
worthless and has 
no marks worth much. 
The Rose Bowl's high- 
lights will end when 
the parade does. The 
game will be an after- 



The best of the 
rest include: the * Fiesta 
with Miami opposing 
UCLA. The Hurricanes

Soccer team ends season with 
loss to Belhaven in Biloxi 




by Barton Thrasher 

The Millsaps soccer 
team finished the 
season with an exhibition 
game against Belhaven 
College. The match 
was played in Biloxi 
Stadium in Biloxi before 
estimated crowd 
of 500. Belhaven won 
the match 3-0, with 
all their scoring coming 
in the second half. 



After a three week 
layoff, the Majors 
were somewhat rusty 
during the contest. 
Belhaven dominated 
the play for most 
of the match as they 
repeatedly pressed 
the Millsaps' defenders. 
Millsaps goalie Marion 
Lyons made several 
great saves which 
surely would have 
been goals. Sophomore

also played well in 
big defensive position. 

The second half 
showed three goals 
for Belhaven as their 
repeated shots on 
goal turned out the 
inevitable scores. 
The Millsaps offense 
seemed lacking as 
few shots were taken 
and no real chances 
at goals were seen.

by Blake Smith 



CHAKA KHAN "I FEEL FOR YOU" 

Stevie Wonder, Michael Sandello, Prince, Burt 
Bacharack, and Chaka Khan, Grand-Master Melle 
Mel and Gary Wright: if you can't find a sound 
you like among this assortment of musical genuises, 
then "I Feel For You." Arif Mardin, whoever 
he is, knew what he was doing when he assembled 
the components for this outstanding packet of 
rhythm. I know I will look for his name on albums 
in the future. 

What else can I say? The album is well worth 
the purchase. The only fault I find with the album 
is that it contains a remake, which isn't so bad. 
I just hate remakes! They just eat away the 
originality of the album as a whole. I suggest 
its purchase anyway.

DARYL HALL & JOHN OATES "BIG BAM BOOM" 

If you like the sound and rhythm of Hall-n-Oates 
new hit "Out of Touch," then you'll love their 
new album "Big Bam Boom" because every song 
sounds similar. It seems that Daryl and John 
have only heard of four-four time and the keys 
of C and G major. Sure, they know how to generate 
a hit, but how about giving us something different 
guys? 

The vocals and instrumentation are 
well-performed, but as good as they are, they 
don't compensate for the simplicity of each song. 
It's like trying to make Filet Mignon out of Millsaps

FOOTBALL, from p. 6 

UT won last year in 
the Citrus, but you 
can bet that Maryland 
will return the favor 
this year in the sun. 

Briefly, the other 
bowls include Arkansas 
beating Auburn in 
the Liberty; Florida 
State whipping Georgia 
in the Citrus; Notre 
Dame turning back 
SMU in the Aloha, 
UNLV passing by Toledo 
in the California; 
Army thrashing Michigan 
State in the Cherry; 
West Virginia upsetting 
TCU in the Bluebonnet; 
Virginia Tech grounding 
the Air Force in the 

Independence; Kentucky 
beating Wisconsin 
in the Hall of Fame; 

Purdue slipping by 
Virginia in the Peach 
and Iowa blowing by 
Texas in the Freedom. 

If we look at college 
football like college 
basketball we are 
left with these five 
teams playing the 
best ball at this point: 
1) Florida, 2) Oklahoma, 

3) Oklahoma State, 

4) Nebraska and 5)Notre 
Dame. 

Thought for the 
week: Will a lineman 
ever win the Heisman? 
After all, the award 
is for the best college 
player regardless of 
the position or spotlight.

Student grill 
undergoes renovations 




by Lauren Gordon 

Students returned 
from the Christmas 
olidays to find exten- 
sive remodeling complet- 
ed in the student center's 
grill. 

According to Olivia 
White, Director of 
Millsaps Food Service, 
the purpose was two — 
fold. She said "As 
far as grill service 
goes, our intention 
was to provide faster 
service and a wider 
ariety for customers." 
is was accomplished 
in part by changing 
the grill set-up and 
by the installation 
of all new equipment. 
There are also several 
new additions to the 
menu, and a new soup 
and salad bar. Food 
service hours for the 

grill are 7:15 a.m. -6:15 
p.m., Monday through 
Friday. 




ABORTION... 
On the 12th 
anniversary 
of the Sup- 
reme Court 
decision for 
legal abor- 
tion, differ- 
ent views 
are expressed.

said 



"Our 



White 

alternate purpose 
for the grill's renovation 
was to provide students 
with a study/lounge 
area after food service 
hours." Stuart Good, 
Dean of Students, 
agreed, saying the 
renovation stemmed 
from the expressed 
need of students for 
a study/lounge area 
other than the library. 
The decor of the grill 
has been made more 
conducive to these 
purposes, and students 
will be able to stay 
in the grill after serving 
hours, from 7 p.m. 
until midnight, on 
Sunday through 
Thursday. Good said 
there were vending 
machines available 
for refreshments after 
normal grill hours. 
Panels will close over 
the service area at 
7 p.m. Good also said 
a roll-a-gate will close

off the bookstore 
and stairway to the 
Student Affairs office 
at 9:00 p.m. and open 
at 5:30 a.m. Because 
of thi% students must 
use the outside stairway 
to the second floor 
in order to get to 
the restrooms. Good 



said that extreme 
caution should be 
used when wandering 
around the building 
at night. He said security 
guards will check 
the area regularly, 
but "as always, use 
common sense in walking 
alone at night." 



Good said that in 
addition to the changes 
that have already 
been made, new lights 

and artwork will be 
coming in soon to 
add to the grill's appear- 
ance. 



Symposium begins 

Attendance 

by Tracey Miller 

As the Millsaps College Student Symposium 
begins tonight with its first session, Cultural 
Ways of Dealing With Death, the usual efforts 
have been made to encourage members of the 
Millsaps community to attend. This year, however, 
with the future of the Student Symposium 
dependent upon student interest and attendance, 
a new approach has been instigated by the members 
of the Student Symposium Committee, who have 
been working on the Symposium since last April. 

"The symposium is this year specially designed 
to involve the audience, as well as the designated 
speakers, as vital participants to each session," 
said Debbie Jordan, co-chairperson of the Symposi- 
um Committee. The Symposium Committee 
has arranged for the setting to lend to this audi- 
ence audience participation by arranging for 
a similation of the "Donahue" talk show set, 
in which all seating will be arranged directly 
on the stage, surrounding the speaker or speakers 
on three sides, Jordan said. Over-flow audience 
will be seated directly behind the stage seating 
in the regular Recital Hall seats. 



is key factor 



"This effort has been put out to increase partici- 
pation among the Millsaps community in the 
Symposium and make it more enjoyable and enrich- 
ing to those who attend," added Jo Watson, 
Symposium Committee co-chairperson. 

The student Symposium, an annual event funded 
by Millsaps students, focuses on a topic of current 
interest selected by a student referendum and 
planned and arranged by the Student Symposium 
Committee, this year composed of Debbie Jordan, 
Jo Watson, Jim Boswell, Susan Graves and Tracey 
Miller. Don Fortenberry, Millsaps Chaplain, acts 
as director of the committee. 

The Symposium, "Death and Dying," begins 
tonight at 8:15p.m. with Dr. Robert Kastenbaum, 
Director of the Adult Development and Aging 
Program and Professor of Gerontology at Arizona 
State University. Kastenbaum is also founder 
and editor of Omega, Journal of Dying and Death 
and International Journal of Aging and Human 
Development. 

The Symposium continues with "The Business 
of Death" at 9:30a.m. tomorrow. Participants 
in this discussion, The Rev. Don Leo of Star- 
-Monterey United Methodist Churches, Robert

Registration needs 



im 




by David Setzer 



Last week, Millsaps students experienced 
what was probably their greatest frustra- 
tion during any given semester. The 
problem I am speaking of is registration 
for clases. Most people will probably 
agree that something needs to be done 
to improve the registration proceedures. 

For first time students, the trouble 
begins with not knowing the proceedures 




of registration. They do not know which 
of the two lines they should be in. The 
only clue is a poster that requires a skill 
in itself to read the PAID IN FULL and 
MILLSAPS PLAN, placed in an obscure 
corner of the lobby of the Academic 
Complex. One first time student told 
me that he waited in the wrong line 
for two hours, and when he got to the 
front of the line he was in, he was told 

that he needed to be in the other line. 

Another problem is the giving out 
of numbers to people registering. A person 
can get a number early in the day and 
come back after he knows his number 
has been called, allowing him to bypass 
the others standing in line and immediately 
go into the business office to complete 
the registration proceedures. Afterwards, 
he can give his number to someone else 
since the numbers are not always taken 
up after being used, thus a second person 
is able to do the same thing. One person 
I spoke to said she stood in the line that 
requires a number for 30 minutes (without 
having a number) before she realized 
she was supposed to have a number. 



Instead of having separate places and 
people for changing schedules, paying 
expenses, and finalizing registration 
(if expenses have been paid prior to the 
day of registration) a business office 
or registration office employee should 
be able to complete any one person's 
registration, no matter which category 
he fits in. By holding registration in 
an open area such as the gym and by 
having each employee handle the complete 
registration of a person whose last name 
begins with a certain letter, the problems 
of registration for a semester would 
be much smoother. For example, one 
person could register all the people whose 
last name begins with A or B and still 
would have to deal with less than 150 
students. 

Many large universities handle registra- 
tion in this manner, and seem to have 
none of the problems we experience. 
With some reorganization of the registra- 
tion process, one of the frustrations 
of beginning a new semester could be 
eliminated. 



Dear Editor, 

We are writing 
concerning the abortion 
ads that appear in 
the P & W weekly. 
If we are a Methodist 
affiliated Christian 
school, we do not 
feel that it is right 



to have these ads 
appear in our newspaper. 
These ads reflect 
badly on the school 
and the students in 
particular. It is not 
necessary to have 
the ads in the P & 
W since the same 
information may be 
found in any telephone 
book or the 



Clarion-Ledger, moreover, 
these two sources 
are usually easier 
to find than a copy 
of the P & W. We 
acknowledge the need 
for the financial support 
that these ads provide, 
but must they contradict 
the basic principles 
upon which this 
institution was founded?

We, the students 
that support this letter, 
are pro-choice, pro-life, 
and in some cases 
pro-abortion; however, 
we are concerned 
with hypocracy of 
these ads. May we 
suggest that other 
ads, such as one from 
Bethany Christian 
Services offering advice 
and counseling concern- 
ing abortion and otner 
alternatives be solicited. 
In this manner, we 
would not be voiding 
or judging the morality 
of this issue, rather 
providing a service 
that is in keeping 
with the principles 1 
of our institution.

Student telephone campaign 
kicks off on February 11 



by Lauren Gordon 



The student telephone campaign 
is one of the most important factors 
contributing to the success of the 
Annual Fund, according to Floy 
Holliman, director of the Annual 
Fund. 

This year's campaign will be held 
from Feb. 11 to March 7 and will 
be chaired by Teresa Bingham, Holli- 
man said. 

This will be the seventh student 
telephone campaign to raise money 
for the Annual Fund. Students call 
alumni and parents all over the 
country to ask for donations for 
the fund. According to Holliman, 
students began calling parents of 
present and former students in 1981 
and the response was overwhelming. 
This year the goal is to have over 
500 parent donors. 

According to Bingham, senior, 
ere will be four co-chairmen for 
the event: Nan Williams, Madolyn 
Robuck, Jim Boswell and Arch Bullard. 
Last year $63,593 was pledged 
the student telephone campaign. 



Tt 
50 

the 
Rot 
I 



Over 57 percent of that total was 
new money. Holliman defined new 
money as money pledged from a 
person who had not given previously, 
or an increased pledge from a previous 
giver. 

The Annual Fund money goes 
to offset the cost of tuition for 
students. Year round, the Annual 
Fund received 28.8 percent alumni 
participation in 1984, up from 26.1 
percent in 1983. This is excellent 
compared to the national average 
of alumni support for private colleges 
of 23 percent, Holliman said. She 
stated that the student telephone 
campaign caused large increases 
in alumni Annual Fund participation. 

For 1985, the Annual Fund hopes 
to increase alumni participation 
to 32 percent, said Holliman. The 
overall Annual Fund goal is $800,000. 
According to Holliman this is the 
"total gift income needed to maintain 
a balanced budget for Millsaps." 
Part of this money will come from 
the Methodist Church and corporate 
gifts, but much of the money will 
be made by the annual fund drive. 



Post office makes additions to boxes 



by Tracey Miller 



Many areas of campus have already 
experienced problems this year 
due to the large number of students 
on campus, and the Millsaps Post 
Office is no exception. 

Jill Levanway, Post Office manager, 
said that the over-abundance of 
students requesting boxes has caused 
the Post Office to add a third 
occupant to some boxes. She said 
that some students had already 
complained about the additional 
box assignments, but that this was 
the only solution at the present 
time. 

So far, approximately 30 to 35 
boxes have been assigned third 
occupants. Levanway said that they 



have tried to stay alphabetical in 
box assignments, but they try to 
fill spaces from which people have 
dropped and occasionally get out 
of alphabetical order. She said that 
students are still registering for 
classes, and since some instructors 
require their students to have post 
office boxes, the number of boxes 
with third occupants could still 
increase. 

In the post office, there are 
approximately 400 boxes available 
to students, with approximately 
850 students renting box spaces. 
Approximately 110 boxes of the 
total boxes available rent to faculty, 
administration and organizations, 
Levanway said.

Bacot to become upperclass dorm 



by Ida Burg 



Stuart Good, Dean 
of Student Affairs, 
announced that as 
a result of the increase 
in student enrollment 
in the previous years 
it has been decided 

that Bacot Girls Dormi- 
tory would next year 
become the freshman 
women's hall. Bacot 
will accomodate 150 
freshmen women and, 
on the first floor, 
approximately 46 



upperclass women. 
Franklin Hall, presently 
the freshman girls' 
dorm, will accomodate 
upper class women, 
Good said, as will 
Sanders Hall and the 
newly built Goodman 
House. 

The reason for this 
move, Good said, is 
to accomodate all 
freshman women in 
one hall, thereby giving 
them a sense of unity 
and cohesion? which 
is so important in 



the freshman year. 
Good said, "We sought 
the advice of a number 

of freshmen and upper- 
class women, and 
they were in agreement 
with this proposed 
change." 

According to John 
Christmas, Dean of 
Admissions, although 
there has been a high 
level of interest in 
Millsaps College, the 
incoming freshman 
class will again be 
limited to approximately 



300 students. Last" 
year was the first 
time Millsaps had 
to limit the number 
of students they accept- 
ed. The applications 
have come from all 
across the country, 
but mostly from the 
southeast, . Christmas 
said. 

Dean Christmas 
said that Millsaps 
plans to remain the 
same small personal 
college that it is now, 
even with the increased 
interest.

Abortion issue explored 



by Susan Kubalak 
Catholic Chaplain to 
Millsaps students 

Today, Jan. 22, marks the twelfth 
anniversary of the Supreme Court decision 
(Roe v. Wade) which legalized abortion. 
Perhaps now would be a good time for 
us to stop and take a look at who we 
are and where we stand on this issue. 

I believe that abortion is wrong, under 
any circumstances. I would like to share 
why I feel the way I do. 

"Abortion" is defined by Webster as 
"a premature birth occurring before 
the fetus can survive; also: an induced 
sulsion of a fetus." Webster defines 
lurder" as "the unlawful and malicious 
or pre-meditated killing of one human 
being by another." There are two major 
differences in these definitions: 

1) Is a fetus a human being? What else 
could he be? He was conceived by a 
human, fathered by a human. His heart 
beats before his mother knows he even 
exists, and he responds to light, noises, 
and pressure on his mother's abdomen. 
This baby can feel and respond to stimuli 
as well as you or I can. 

2) Murder is unlawful. Abortion is legal. 
Is murder ever justifiable? Should abortion 



Many arguments have been made in 
favor of abortion "What if the woman 
was raped?" "What if chances are good 
that the child will be deformed?" "What 
if the mother is not emotionally equipped 
to handle a pregnancy, much less a child?" 
"What if the mother's health is endangered?" 
Again I say, is murder ever justifiable? 
There are options open for the unwed 
mother including counseling, foster homes 
during the pregnancy and for the baby 
after birth, adoption, and low cost, high 
quality medical care. Perhaps the most 
disturbing argument is "it's better for 
the baby." Better to be killed by being 
cut or suctioned apart, or by injected 
with a saline solution - better to be killed 
before she has a chance to live? 

I am frightened by the ease with which 
we seem to take life and death into our 
own hands. How can we make such decisions? 
We cannot create life; it is a gift we 
have received. Surely we can't believe 
we have the right to take away the gift 
of someone else! 

This week has been dedicated to respect 
for life by the Roman Catholic Church 
in the U.S. I would like to invite the 
members of the Millsaps community

AMERICAN 
LUNG 

ASSOCIATION 

The Christmas Seal People® 



by Mary Kay Hall 

On the 12th anniversary of the ruling 
to legalize abortion, we have the chance 
to reflect on the decision we made as 
a country in an effort to protect constitut- 
ional rights. The only celebration I feel 
in regart to this is the rare, individual 
freedom we have managed to retain 
in a world that fights for personal and 
national superiority. 

It is difficult to say whether a decision 
of such caliber is ever, or can ever be 
made in the proper interest. There are 
infinite, valid pros and cons which I suspect 
may be debated to exhaustion and still 
lend no decisive outcome. At the risk 
of taking a position, I wish to express 
a concern for the circumstances resulting 
should this right be taken away. I am 
not promoting-the use of abortion as 
a means of birth control, but merely 
stating that as a citizen of this country, 
I feel quite defensive about the imposition 
of law that denies individual freedom 
of choice on such an individual matter. 
In an effort to preserve the free country 
our forefathers fought to create, we 
must strive to protect individual choice. 
I do not see legalized abortion as an 
answer to the problem of unwanted preg- 
nancy. If our purpose in outlawing this 
practice is to prevent it from happening 
we must be aware that we won't succeed- 
it can only promise to elicit its occurence 
outside the confines of the law. The 
removal of the constitutional right to

A tale of two Tigers 



by Matt Kaye 



Without a doubt, many of the 
college basketball enthusiasts at 
Millsaps would love to see a game 
between the Memphis State Tigers 
and the Louisiana State Tigers. 
Who would win is a hotly contested 
topic. So, logically, we'll analyze 
each and draw a conclusion. 

Immediately, the talented Bayou 
Bengals are placed at a disadvantage 
with Head Coach Dale Brown. He 
is worth at least six points for 
opponents. But alas LSU fans, do 
not fear because Coach Dana Kirk 
of MSU gives away ten. One only 
wonders what a Denny Crum or 
Dean Smith could do with these 
teams. 

LSU is very physical. They leave 
opponents feeling a loss in other 
ways than the scoreboard. Forward 
John Williams is one of the better 
freshmen in the country. His 
high-arching jumper is extremely 
difficult to block, which is important 
considering Memphis State's twin 
towers. Nakita Wilson is Williams' 
sidekick in the middle. He is a solid 
role player who is the perfect 
compliment for Williams. 

The "show" for LSU is run by Jerry 
"Ice" Reynolds. "Ice" is a 6'9" wheeling 
machine much like a Michael Ray 



Richardson. Needless to say, his 
height at guard poses problems for 
opponents in that he can post up 
smaller men on the block. Derrick 
Taylor is the off guard. He can do 
practically everything Reynolds 
can but not as consistently. 

However, the key man for LSU 
is 6'6" swingman Don Redden. He 
is the man the Tigers will go to 
in the clutch everytime. Redden 
is an excellent shooter who can 
fill it up on anybody. 

LSU's first five is formidable. 
Their bench is the problem- they 
have none. There is not a player 
that can come in and be counted 
on. This isn't a problem for Memphis 
State. 

The Tigers from Memphis are 
potentially awesome. By now, most 
everyone knows that Ail-American 
Keith Lee is their leader. When 
the 6'9" Lee has over 20 points, 
Memphis wins close to 90% of the 
time. His move to the forward position 
has driven opponents crazy because 
he can hit the 15 footer. The reason 
for this move is due to the presence 
of 7'0" center William Bedford. 
He relieves some of the defensive 
pressure of Lee making both more 
effective.

Lady Majors take 
loss to Toppers 

by Mary Kay Hall 

The Millsaps women's basketball team fell 
to a disappointing 53-51 loss Saturday against 
Blue Mountain College. The Majors, now 4-5, 
returned the previous Saturday from San Antonio, 
Texas. Prolonged by two days of snow, the trip 
gave the Majors a win against Trinity University 
and a loss to Incarnate Word. 

The Majors hope this year to boost their win 
record with the help of five veteran players 
and a strong bench. The talent runs especially 
deep with six incoming freshmen and returning 
transfer Lou Ann Pace. This year's team holds 
a great deal of playing experience which has 
already proved to be an asset not present in 
previous seasons. 

Members of the team include Mindy Bowman, 
Cheryl Brooks, Lynn Daigle, Janie Lynn Harris, 
Suzy Kelty, Melissa Latimer, Nancy Messer, 
Lisa Pace, Lou Ann Pace, Mary Margaret Patterson 
and Jean Rose. 



2nd time this season

Millsaps 



Millsaps Sports Release 

The Millsaps men's 
basketball team was 
derailed Thursday 
for the third time 
in the last five games, 
losing to Rhodes College 
57-52. It marked the 
second time this season 
that the Lynxcats 
have beaten the Majors. 

The game was close 
throughout until an 
eight-point run by 
Rhodes put them up 
52-46 with four minutes 
left . to play. Scott 
Patterson led the 
winners with 26 points. 
Millsaps was led by 
Kevin Russell with 
16 points and ten 
rebounds. Rhodes 
shot 57 percent from 
the field, while Millsaps 
could only manage 
42 percent. 1

has been some what of a disappoint-

of brilliance, but also is capable 
of playing 35 minutes and contributing 
nothing. Askew, like Williams of 
LSU, is just a freshman. He could 
be the force that leads Memphis 
State to propsrity. He can do it 
all. The final guard spot is to be 
filled by either Andre Turner or 
D wight Boyd. Turner has been the

to the cheers of Memphis State 
fans, would be forced into another 
form of "P.T."- "pine time." 

So, what are we left with? A great 
deal would depend on the site of 
a confrontation and the officiating. 
Memphis State is strictly a finesse 
team and is not really capable of 
mixing it up. LSU is just the opposite. 
With all this in mind, if I had to 
choose a winner, I'd take the Tigers 
by five. 

Thought for the week: Didn't you 
get the feeling the 49ers were bored 
in the Super Bowl? If they played 
ten more times, the results would 
be the same.

Fogerty plays we 
in Centerfield 



by Reed 



JOHN FOGERTY - CENTERFIE LD - ***% 

Way, way back, in 1967, a group of four guys 
formed a band to play basic rock and roll, no 
• questions asked. They called themselves Creedence 
Clearwater Revival and they took the music 
world by storm. Creedence was led by one John 
Fogerty. This guitarist/vocalist wrote some of 
the most important music of all time, including 
"Down On the Corner," "Bad Moon Rising," "Fortu- 
nate Son," "Green River," and, of course, the 
' outstanding "Proud Mary," which has become 
an American standard that even your grandmother 
has heard. Fogerty led Creedence for about four 
years, releasing a phenomenal seven albums 
in that short time. When Creedence disbanded, 
it left a mark on modern music that would remain 
forever. 

After eleven years of seemingly total seclusion, 
the driving force of CCR, John Fogerty, has 
returned to the music scene with an album written, 
arranged, performed and produced by himself. 
Centerfield is, without a doubt, one of the best 
albums released in recent months. The first single 
is a folky tune entitled "The Old Man Down the 
Road." This song is characteristic of the entire 
album which recalls the time around 1970 when 
CCR was the top of the musical heap. Other 
recommended cuts are "Centerfield," "Rock 
and Roll Girls," "Searchlight," and "Big Train 
(From Memphis)" which all employ the same 
method and style of John Fogerty at his best. 

Fogerty also returns to politics. Songs like 
"Fortunate Son" and "Run Through the Jungle" 
were strong political statements in the 1970's. 
On Fogerty's latest release, he protests with 
songs like "Mr. Greed" in which he says: 

"...There's corruption in your path, Be that 
your epitaph, Mr. Greed." 
All things considered, Fogerty's 
a monumental achievement well 
acclaim it has received. Eleven 



new album is 
worthy of the - 
years may be 



a long time to wait, but it was well worth it.

is invited to attend. 



ABORTION, from p. 5 

choose will serve to 
further reduce one's 
independence and 
increase personal 
regulation by the law. 

The solution must 
be sought elsewhere. 
Agreement upon condit- 
ional circumstances 
will never be reached 
by lawmakers: if abort- 
ion is outlawed there 
will always be those 
who feel their personal 
right was taken away 
leading to a search 
for ulterior means 
to solving the problem. 

I personally feel 
one facing abortion 
must conclude whether 
it is right or wrong. 
Furthermore, I do 
not believe we are 
in the position to judge. 



Ultimately, it is the 
individual who must 
be responsible for 
his/her actions and 
live with the conse- 
quences whether the 
act is lawful or not. 

We, in the end, will 
be responsible for 
the things we do- 
governmental decis- 
ions will be of no conse- 
quence. We must live 
with ourselves and 
our actions every 
single moment- we 
are accountable for 
the way we conduct 
our lives and no court 
in the country can 
protect us from acts 
committed of our 
own volition- 
lawful or unlawful. 
Some things must 
be decided by the 
heart.

Millsaps has two 
new instructors on 
campus for the Spring 
1985 semester- Dr. 
Samuel Hill, a religion 
professor and Dr. 
Robert McAdory, 
who is teaching physics. 

This Spring the Eudora 
Welty Professor is 
Dr. Sam Hill, who 
is visiting Millsaps 
from the Department 
of Religion at the 
University of Florida. 
Dr. Hill is teaching 
two classes in the 
Millsaps Department 
of Religion and will 
present this week's 
Friday Forum entitled 
"The Bible and Religion: 
The Development 
of Moral Beliefs in 
the South." 

The Eudora Welty 
Chair of Southern 
Studies is held by 
a scholar who is on 
facultly at another 
college or university 
and fills the chair 



by offering specific 
courses at Millsaps 
for a Spring semester. 
The chair was establish- 
ed two years ago in 
the name of noted 
Mississippi Writer 
and Jackson resident 
Eudora Welty, who 
has also served on 
the Millsaps Board 
of Trustees. The chair 
has been previously 
held by Cleanth Brooks, 
a literary critic and 
professor and Joel 
Williamson, historian. 

Dr. Hill received 
his Ph.d. from Duke 
University and also 
has his B.A., M.A. 
and B.D. He has done 
special studies at 
Cambridge and Harvard 
University and has 
received numerous 
awards. He was also 
elected associate 
director of the American 
Academy of Religion. 
Dr. Hill has also written 
many books on the 
subject of religion. 

Dr. Hill offers two 



courses this semester: 
"Religion in Southern 
Culture" and "Evangel- 
ical Christianity." 
The courses cover 
iithe history of religion 
in the South and its 
place and influence 
in southern culture, 
and also why culture 
is different in different 
sections of the country. 

Millsaps has also 
one other new professor 
this Spring. 

Dr. Robert McAdory 
is the new assistant 
professor of physics, 
according to Dean 
Robert King, Vice 
President of Millsaps 
College. McAdory 
is offering "optics" 
and "thermophysics," 
two courses not offered 
at Millsaps during 
the past five years. 
McAdory attended 
Mississippi State for 
his undergraduate 
work and completed 
his doctorate at the

Senate passes recommendations 



The student Senate 
at Millsaps passed 
several resolutions 
in their Senate meeting 
last night, according 
to John Pigott, SBA 
President. 

The Senate passed 
these policy changes ' 
to use as recommend- 
ations for the Board 
of Trustees, which 
has a meeting coming 
up Friday, February 
15. 

The first resolution 
that passed was one 
dealing with the lack 
of an Easter break 
for Millsaps. It was 
proposed that a three- 
-day holiday be set 
aside for Millsaps, 



since it is a church- 
-related school. 

Another resolution 
passed by the Senate 
was one that suggests 
the formation of a 
Graduation committee, 
said Pigott. He said 
that many students 
had expressed their 
concern to him about 
the planning of the 
Graduation ceremony, 
saying there needed 
to be "some kind of 
student input." The 
proposed committee 
would consist of stu- 
dents, faculty, and 
staff members. 

The other recommend- 
ation the Senate will 
make to the Board 



of Trustees is one 
where the money left 
over in the escrow 
account from one 
year will be carried 
over to the SBA general 
budget of the next 
academic year. The 
left-over money from 
the escrow account 
now goes into the 
escrow account for 
the next year, Pigott 
said. If the money 
went into the general 

budget, it could be 

used more effectively

Rollins of Collins 
Funeral Home came 
off looking like saints

businesses followed

of Ethics, further 
investigation into 
the practices of these 



At last week's panel 
discussion entitled 
"The Business of Death" 
held in conjunction 
with the Student 
Symposium on death 
and dying, allegations 
were made about the 
funeral industry's 
unethical treatment 
of grief-stricken families 
which the industry 
defends under the 



letters 



funeral homes indicated 
that the workers at 
both homes withheld 
information about 
inexpensive body disposal 
or. at least manipulated 
the facts concerning 
what was included 
in the price of burial 
or cremation. 

During the Wednesday 
morning discussion, 
Rollins told the audience 
that he could dispose 
of a body for under 
$250. Well, when I 
called Collins later 
that afternoon and 
asked for a quote 
on the least expensive 
form of body disposal, 
the person I talked 
to told me that cremat- 
ion was the least expen- 
sive at $575 plus $1 
per mile for them 
to transport the body 
to Biloxi, in which 



is located the only 
crematorium in the 
state. The person 
at Collins also told 
me that I would "have 
to pay $100 to $150 
for an urn, too." When 
I replied with "Isn't 
an urn optional?" he 
replied, "I don't know." 
Of course an urn is 
optional. Why on earth 
would anybody trying 
to cut funeral expenses 
want to pay $100 to 
$150 on a container 
for the ashes after 
cremation? 

The question that 
was foremost in my 
mind, however, was 
why Mr. Rollins insisted 
that he could dispose 
for a body for under 
$250 at the Symposium 
when the lowest price 
quoted to me was 
$575? Either Mr. Rollins 



lied to those at the 
discussion or his assis- 
tant at the funeral 
home purposely misled 
me. Either way, the 
practices of Mr. Rollins 
seem to me to be 
unethical. 

The man I talked 
to at Wright and Fergu- 
son was equally mislead- 
ing. When I asked 
a worker there about 
the price of cremation, 
he said it would be 
at least $800 to $900. 
As for the "simplest" 
graveside service, 
it costs $1420 plus 
casket and plot. When 
I asked what was includ- 
ed in this "base price" 
of $1420, he said then 
that of course certain 
items were "optional."

IF YOU PONT STOP LAUGHING

PRO-CHOICE 
AGREED WITH 

To the Editor: 

I would like to com- 
ment with regard 
to the letter to the 
editor and the commen- 
tary by Susan Kubalak, 
both dealing with 
some aspect of the 
abortion issue. 

Though I respect 
the right to opinions 
as expressed by- the 
letter to the editor, 
much of it I found 
rather objectionable. 
Perhaps what bothered 
me most was the fact 
that a handful of stu- 
dents are seemingly 
trying to manipulate 
the decision-making 
prerogative of the 
editor, a right which 
is hers alone by tradition 
as well as by ethical 
standards. 

Though our school

FIRE ALARM PROBLEM 



(Editor's note: This 
letter was received 
last semester on Decem- 
ber 7, 1984, after 
the semester's last 
paper had already 
been printed.) 
Editor, 

Tonight (December 
ii-, 1984) the fire alarm 
went off by accident 
in Bacot. Mo big deal. 
What is sad is that 
NO ONE responded. 
The R.A.'s didn't. 
Half the people thought 
it was a drill; the 
other half thought 
it was an accident. 
Off our wing, six people 
came out. I can under- 
stand those in the 
lobby who knew it 
was an accident not 
responding, but the 
whole dorm!! I think 
I can say without error 
that at least Bacot, 
if not the other dorms, 
is totally unprepared 
and I have no doubt 
that some would die 
in case of fire.

Millsaps College's 
Friday Forum series

Dr. Samuel S. Hill, 
the Eudora Welty 
Visiting Professor 
of Southern Studies. 

Dr. Hill's talk is 
entitled "The Bible 
d Religion: The

According to Dr. Hill, 
the teachings of the 
Bible are meant to 
be taken seriously

David Loper, junior 
from Jackson, MS — "I 
really enjoyed the 
sessions of the Sym- 
posium that I attended. 
It was obvious that 
a lot of careful planning 
was involved. The 
turnout of students 
made it evident that 
the Symposium should 
be continued next 
year. Hopefully more 

topics as interesting 
as Death and Dying 
will continue to be 
discussed." 




Suzanne Watson, fresh-

the Symposium because 
I had classes during 
the day sessions and 
I was busy during the 
night ones. I think 
they need to make 
Symposium a require- 
ment so more people 
can go. It's lost on 
more than half of 
the people at Millsaps. 
It's a good idea, but 
now days students 
just do what they 
have to do, and Sym- 
posium isn't one of 
them.

PRO-CHOICE, from p.2 

printed in the* Purple 
and White? I say no. 

The newspaper is a 
forum for the free 
expression of ideas 
and for the transmission 
of information. The 
editor has the right 
to print an article 
or an advertisement, 
free of censorship, 
so long as the material 
is not harmful to anyone. 

The ad which the 
"group" found objection- 
able is not a solicitation 
for abortion. The adver- 
tisement also offers 
pregnancy testing 
and information on 
birth control and venere- 
al disease. Abortion 
is the extreme result 
of taking the ad to 
heart, much as advocat- 
ing alcoholism would 
be for a beer ad. 

With attention to 
Susan Kubalak's 
commentary on the 
abortion issue in which 
she strongly advocates 
the anti-abortion senti- 



ment, I ask her why 
not the woman's freedom 
to choose? It seems 
to me that the mother 
has the right or the 
privilege to make 
this decision which 
will certainly strongly 
affect the rest of 
her life. Her commen- 
tary asks if the fetus 
is a human being and 
she responds, "What 

else could he be?" 
I ask whether the 
fetus is a human being 
or merely an extension 
of the mother who 
gives it its life and 
who without this sustain- 
ing connection would 
surely die. 

I simply can not 
reconcile the idea 
of the "gift of life" 
and how it is not our 
"right" to take it away 
with the harsh reality 
of the consequences 
of a violent rape or 
of a pregnancy and 
delivery which could 
seriously endanger

Belhaven edges Majors

Millsaps Sports News 



The woes continued 
last Monday night, 
January 21, for Millsaps 
as they dropped a 
56-51 decision to arch 
rival Belhaven. It 
was the Majors' third 
loss in their last five 
games. 

Head Coach Don 
Holcomb said, "Although 
we lost, if we give 
that kind of effort 
the rest of the season, 
then good things will 
happen to us." 

Millsaps fell behind 
quickly at 6-0, but 
rallied to take a brief 
lead at 9-8. Throughout 
the rest of the half, 
he score remained 
close until Belhaven 
closed with a flurry 

to take a 29-21 lead 
into the locker room. 

Early in the second 
half, the Blazers jumped 



out to a 15-point lead. 
Millsaps chipped away 
repeatedly and event- 
ually narrowed the 
lead to three at 50-47 

with 1:01 left, but 
was unable to come 

any closer. 

Billy Waits led Millsaps 
with 16 points and 

8 rebounds. Jimmy 
Carr and Jim Benton 
added 12 and 8 points 
respectively. 

Millsaps, now 10-5, 
has ten days off because 
of the cancellation 
of two games with 
Tougaloo. The Majors' 
next game will be 
home against Bethel 
on Feb. 1.

Varsity players form 
indoor soccer team 



by Kelly Wilford 



Several Millsaps varsijty 
soccer players have recently 
formed an indoor soccer 
team, said team admin- 
istrator and player B.A. 
Holman. The team, which 
is sponsored by C.S.'s, 
plays its games on Friday 
and Saturday nights at 
9, 10, or 11:00 p.m. 

Holman said they are 
one of several indoor 
soccer teams in Jackson. 
The league is composed 
of teams from Millsaps, 
Belhaven, Jackson State 
University, Clinton, the 
Jackson Soccer Club, 
a Budweiser team, and 
several other adult teams. 
There are two teams 
from both Millsaps and 
Belhaven. 

Albert Labasse, who 
is one of the players on 
the C.S.'s-sponsored team, 
said that indoor soccer 
differed from outdoor 
soccer in several ways. 
He said there was a smaller 



playing field, with a wall 
surrounding the field, 
which means the ball 
rarely goes out of bounds. 
He also said that there 
was almost continuous 
play in the 60 minute 
game, which means "a 
lot more action is seen." 
The game is also "a lot 
of fun" because much 
more scoring is seen. 

Holman said the Millsaps 
team that is sponsored 
by C.S.'s is made up of 
13 Millsaps soccer players. 
The other Millsaps team 
is made up of other varsity 
soccer players and various 
intramural players and 
ex-soccer players who 
had played in high school. 

Holman said that his 
team was presently 1-1, 
with Labasse adding that 
their one loss was a close 
one. A master game 
schedule of the games 
for the rest of the season 
should be out next week, 
said Holman, and will 
be posted at C.S.'s.

Grill crowd increases 



by Tracey Miller 



Along with many other obvious 
changes in the grill this semester, 
one change noticed is the number 
of people who are frequenting the 
"new" grill during the school day. 

Grill Supervisor Alice Acy said 
that the grill is "crowded at times," 
but that persons in line or utilizing 
the tables move in and out at a 
good pace. "Many people are eating 
and going," she said and there is 
no obvious shortage of table space 
at any given time. The grill still 
has the same number of tables as 
it has had in the past, she said. 

At lunch and dinner, Acy said, 
there are a great number of people 
using the grill. "Between 1:30 and 
4p.m. it is pretty empty though," 
Acy said. The morning hours are 
pretty steady with customers. 

Acy said that students in general 
"love the self service." She explained 
that the self service section, which 
includes salad, chili, soup and bever- 
ages, allows the counter service 
to be faster. "It also gives Mama 
a lot of help," she said. Students 
seem to prefer waiting and getting 
their order all at the same time, 



Acy added. 

Additions to the grill menu are 
also popular among grill customers. 
"Today we ran out of chili at 1Z 
o'clock and had to make more," 
said Acy. Other menu additions 
are the salad bar, soup, hot dogs 
and sausage dogs, the "dutch boy," 
doughnuts and pastry, and, soon 
to come, apples. Acy said the salad 
bar is only available until Zp.m. 
because demand for it goes down 
close to the dinner hours and most 
of the "cash customers" who use 
the grill wanted salad especially 
around lunch time. 

Current grill hours are from 7:1 5- 
a.m. to 6:15p.m. and vending service 
from 7p.m. to 12a.m. 

Acy said that any item cut from 
last semester's menu can still be 
ordered as a special item. 

Acy added that, "I've been here 
27 years and this [format] I really 
enjoy. I've got time to wash tables, 
talk to students and work too. It's 
great." 

The only problem noted so far 
is that there is excess heat behind 
the counter that is uncomfortable 
for the workers. The problem is 
being looked into though, Acy said. 



Beat it: Sports set to music 



by Matt Kaye 



There are many 
days when I flip op 
the TV and see sports 
clips set to music. 
When you think about 
it, certain teams really 
do fit into the mold 
of some musical songs. 

For example, whenever 
I think about the New 
Orleans Saints, "Like 
a Virgin," comes to 
mind because they 
are the only team 



who hasn't burst into 
the playoffs. 

Watching Ole Miss 
play basketball reminds 
of that old hit "Brick 
House." I'm sure that 
those Rebels who 

aren't lucky enough 
to get a degree will 
be quickly employed 
by the local masoneries. 
I've always heard that 
they hired people 
who have had previous 

experience.

for this past season, 
Mets fans have never 
cried "Wait until next

"You remember 69, 
don't you?" 

I guess any song 
by AC-DC would be 
appropriate for the 
L.A. Raiders. Aren't 
all their songs hard

Of course, the song 
"Purple Rain" hits 
pretty close to home. 
It is our own beloved

TOTO releases 
another good buy 



by Blake Smith 



TOTO-ISOLATION 

After a waiting period of approximately two 
eternities the award-winning association known 
by the four letters TOTO released another collec- 
tion of musical masterpieces. Out of the ten 
pieces imprinted on the vinyl, six are destined 
for future release as singles. I will predict that 
four of . them will make the top twenty: "Carmen," 
"Isolation," "Stranger in Town," and "How Does 
it Feel." One, of course, has already broken the 
magical barrier of unquestioned success. 

While Isolation is not quite as "popular sounding" 
as TOTO IV was, it is still musically outstanding 
and well worth the purchase. 

Overall Impression: 8 
Instrumentation: 8 
Difference from Last Album: 7 
Chord Progression Differential: 9 
Vocals: 9 

Rhythm Differential: 7 
Lyrics: 6 
Originality: 8 

Each category is averaged (overall twice) to 
give an overall rating of 8 out of a possible 10. 

Thanks to May wood Mart BeBop for album supply. 

Instead of reviewing two albums this week, 
I would like to utilize this space for a bit of 
explanation for recent newcomers to Millsaps 
and also for those of you who might not have 
understood the rankings last semester. I ' rate 
an album in eight different categories. Chord 
Progression Differential is how different (or 
similar) individual songs sound in comparison 
to other songs on the album. If every song is 
unique, the album gets a high rating in this catego- 
ry. Rhythm Differential is similar, but it deals 
with how the songs "feel" instead of sound. Instru- 
mentation takes both the quality of the music 
and the uniqueness of its performance into 
consideration. 

The other categories are basically self-explana- 
tory. Overall Impression is averaged twice into 
the final rating because that is what really matters 
anyway.

PRO-CHOICE, from p. 7 

the mother's life. 

If abortion were 
to be banned I can 
not help but conjure 
up dark images of 
back street "clinics" 
or personal measures 
taken for those who 
feel that abortion 
is their only alternative. 

Though I don't advo- 
cate abortion, I certainly 



can't condemn those 
who feel it is necessary. 
This freedom of choice 
we have is vital to 
our democratic notions 
of liberty. 

Perhaps the answer 
would be sexual educa- 
tion in a constructive 
informed manner to 
dispel the myths and 
fallacies surrounding 
our nation's strong 
taboo on anything 
sexual. I can only 



reiterate the responsibil- 
ity each woman has — 
to make a (hopefully) 
informed decision 
if the need arises.

SYMPOSIUM, from p. 2 

by not fearing death 
or trying to run from 
it. 

Having attended 
all the sessions of 
the symposium, I was 
glad to see the large 
student turnout. By 
my estimation there 
were a total of 1000 
participants among 
the four sessions. 
This number is approxi- 
mately 10 times the 
turnout of last year's 
Symposium on Human 
Sexuality. Many people 
were counted more 
than once, of course, 
for each session they 
attended in order 
to achieve this figure 
of 1000. One part 
of this figure that 
disturbs me is the 
number of faculty 
members who were 
seen at the Symposium. 
I noticed, just as I 
recall from last year, 
poor faculty and 
administrative attendance 
Out of approximately 
1000 participants, 
less than 50 were 
faculty members and 
even 60 percent of 
those 50 were "faithful" 
to the Symposium 
and were counted 
more than once for 
attending more than 
one session. It is a 
pity, then, that a total 
of 20 out of 



approximately 85 
faculty could be counted 
in the audience. 

Many students that 
I talked with throughout 

the day on Wednesday 

complained that their 
professors did not 

cancel class or they 
did not feel free in 
missing classes that 
were going to be held 
anyway. 

The Student Symposi- . 
urn, run and organized 
by students, is not 
exclusively for students. 
It is for the whole 
college. When the 
Dean of Student Affairs 
goes to the Symphony 
instead of the Symposi- 
um where he would 
be in support of five 
■ students with whom 
he has worked closely, 
it makes me wonder 
where his priorities 
lie. The Symposium 
should not be scrapped 
at all, especially not 
for lack of student 
concern, as Dr. Mallette 
stated after last year's 
Symposium, but the 
lack of faculty and 
administrative concern 
and support should 
be questioned in the 
planning of Symposiums. 

I know attending 
student sponsorec 
events, such as . choral 
concerts, plays an< 
the Symposium, may 
not be in the job descrip- 



tion of a faculty mem- 
ber, but it is, in the 
same respect, not 

our responsibility 
to support the faculty 
by writing letters 

for tenure, writing 
nominations for disting - 
uished professor, invitirg 
them to be on commit- 
tees and advising oi r 
groups, and even takirg 
their classes. 

While we're on the 
subject, where w; s 
our student body presi- 
dent, whom I did nc t 
see in attendance 
at any of the Symposium 

sessions? Is this ary 
way for a person wfo 
is so concerned wilh 
school spirit to act? 

In the end, the poii t 
of this letter is n< t 
to single out people 
and criticize them 
- it is to make us ell 
think about our attituc e 
for and our involvement 
in school activities. 
In order for Millsaps 
to be successful in 
its endeavors, as with 
the recent Symposium, 
we have to join together 
as a community to 
share with each other, 
support each other 
and most of all work 
together to allcw 
the true sense of corr 
munity to be felt at 

Millsaps. 
Sincerely,

FUNERAL BUSINESS, 
from p. 2 

had asked for a base 
price to begin with 
- without extras. 

After talking with 
assistants at the two 
funeral homes I was 
outraged by the way 
they purposely mislead 
me on the services 
and items that are 
required by law and 
those that the industry 



considers "necessary." 

One thing the Sympos- 
ium discussion made 
me realize is just 
how little I know about 
my rights, concerning 
the disposal of a loved 
one's body, and after 
talking to Funeral 
Home directors I do 
not think that they 
present all of the 
options in body disposal 

merely the ones 
off which they will 



make a large profit. 

Some people attending 
the Symposium said 
that society was to 
blame for the high 
cost of dying because 
demands elaborate 
funerals. While I acknow- 
ledge the validity 
of such a statement, 
it is my intention 
that the funeral industry 
misleads the public 

by not clearly presenting 
disposal options. 



NEW PROFS, from p. 1 

University of Texas. 

Dean King also report- 
ed that this is the 
first time Millsaps 
has had two full time 
physics instructors 



on staff. 

Dean King added 
that Dr. Dewey Meyers, 
former professor of 
Biology, has taken 
a new position with 
the Kennedy Space 
Center in Florida. 



SONGFEST, from p.2 

- Where is SongFest? 
What happened to 
this Millsaps tradition? 

Before you jump 
to conclusions, I am 
not all for practicing 
months in advance 
for some crazy sing 
out. However, for 
those of us who took 
it seriously but not 
laboriously, we (or 
I anyway) found it 
to be quite enjoyable. 

The amount of time 
spent practicing certain- 
ly lead to the downfall 
of Song Fest. So why 
not put a two week 
limit on practices 

- that should eliminate 
any problem of time 
misspent. 

Some thought Song 
Fest just got out of 
hand. For example, 
the Sigs, who started 



a tradition within 
Song Fest, were relieved 
of their ammo because 
because some outsiders 
thought they were 
obscene. First - Song 
Fest is not for outsiders; 
it's for Millsaps and 
none of us complained. 
The Sigs just put every- 
one in their place, 
and in so doing called 
some pretty accurate 
shots. 

Speaking of humor, 
Dr. Sallis beats all. 
He can put life back 
into any boring song, 
and wouldn't hesitate 
to do so. 

What about it Chi 

Omega's - let's revitalize 
this glorious event, 
complete with Dr. 
Sallis, the Sigs and 
the Pikes (if they 
will show up).

The continuing in- 
crease in enrollment 

t Millsaps College The 
has created a number 
of problems involving 
space for studying the 
as well as living. The 
latest attempts by 



Council member Connie 
Watson, the "list of 
grievances" begins 
with study conditions. 

divided rooms 
and lobbettes are 
more suitable for 
more rigorous 
study habits of upper- 
classmen, says Watson,

to deal with the crowded enrolled in the more 
living areas involve difficult and upper 
making Bacot Dorm level courses. Many 



a primarily freshman 
women's dorm and 



students feel Franklin 
is "not conducive to 



Franklin Hall an upper- studying," said Watson, 
class women's dorm. 
This effort, however, 
has met with some such as the lobbettes 
opposition from many of Bacot.

of any study areas

Bacot Dorm Council 

, . m Bacot, the. , freshman 

and several other 



lhe 
states 
of the 



petition also 
that because 
of 



structure 



students have drawn 
up a petition against 
changing Bacot to 
a freshman dorm, 
listing reasons ranging 
from study conditions 
to privileges for upper- 
classmen. The authors 
of the petition include 
Alys Barlow, Laura 
Barret, Cindy Hanberry, 
Laurie Pruitt, Gloria 
Simo, Susan Van Cleve, 
Connie Watson, Cecile 
Williams, and Laura 
Wheeler. 



class would be less 
cohesive if they lived 
there. The Dorm Council 
felt that unity as a 
class is important 
the freshman year, 
and that this feeling 
could not be achieved 
in the spread out wings 
of Bacot. 

According to Watson, 
the Dorm Council 
also felt a vital part 
of a freshman's life 
is interaction with 
the resident assistants. 



According to Dorm Bacot as a freshman

"Okay, y'all, it's time to smile and dial!" "Let's

on your face puts a smile in your voice!" 

Those are the familiar sounds of the Student 
Telephone Campaign which begins on Monday, 
February 11 and continues, Monday through Thurs- 
day nights, for the next four weeks. An annual 
student event dating back to 1979, the Student 
Telephone Campaign has a goal of $70,000 from 
alumni and parents for the College's 1984-85 
New Annual Fund. 

New Annual Fund gifts support Millsaps' current 
operating budget. These contributions are used 
to buy books for the library, support faculty 
and staff salaries, purchase laboratory and class- 
room equipment, maintain campus buildings

dorm would make 
this interaction difficult, 
says Watson, unless 
more RA's were placed 
in the dorm. 

Another part of 
the petitioner's argument 
involves the idea of 
privileges for upperclass- 
men. "This dorm [Bacot] 
is better, we think," 
said Watson, explaining 
that the upperclassmen 
feel they are entitled 
to the advantages 
of Bacot. 

Many students were 
also disturbed by the 
fact that they were 
not consulted. Most 
Bacot and Franklin 
residents had not heard 
of the proposed change 
prior to the report 
in the P&W, said Watson, 
which seemed unfair. 

The petition has 
accumulated 140 signa- 
tures and will be submit- 
ted to several 
administrative officials. 
Says Watson, "There 
were really legitimate 
reasons [for the 
petition]. We hope 
they'll [Millsaps 
administration] listen."

Senate elections to be held 



by Kelly Wilford 



Tomorrow, February 7, there 
will be elections for six positions 
on the Student Senate, according 
to 2nd Vice President Mac Bailey. 

Bailey said there were three 
campus-wide positions, two 

off-campus positions, and a Galloway 
position open. He said the three 
campus-wide positions were vacant 
because of several reasons. One 
campus-wide representative, Jim 
Boswell, was elected SBA Treasurer, . 
therefore vacating his seat. The 
other two seats became available 
when Senators Arch Bullard and 
Debbie Jordan had to be removed 
from office because of the number 
of absences, said Bailey. A Senator 
may miss three meetings without 
sending a substitute, or have four 



misses with a substitute. 

One of the two off-campus positions 
became available when Senator 
Pcitricjk Patrick was elected SBA 
1st Vice President, and the other 
seat was opened when Senator Whit 
McKinley was removed, said Bailey, 
also because of the absence rule. 

Brent Alexander was recently 
elected SBA 2nd Vice President, 
thereby leaving a position open 
for a Galloway resident, said Bailey. 

Because two of the positions just 
opened up Monday night after the 
Senate meeting, Bailey said he has 
extended the deadline for letters 
of intent to today, February 6, at 
' 5:00 p.m. Letters of intent should 
be sent to Box 15422. 

The election will be held in the 
Student Union Thursday from 11:00 
a.m. until 6:00 p.m.

opinion 



Why not raise 
drinking age? 

The 1985 Mississippi Legislature is 
now faced with the decision about whether 
to raise the state's legal drinking age 
for beer and light wine to 21. The federal 
government has mandated that states 
do so by fiscal year 1987 or lose 5°o 
of their federal highway funds. However, 
Mississippi legislators must decide this 
year whether they will pass a law raising 

letters 



the legal drinking age based solely on 
the impact it will have on those under 
21. 

The national statistics for raising the 
drinking age are significant. Twenty 
percent of the drivers involved in fatal 
alcohol-related accidents are under 21, 
yet they make up only 8% of the licensed 
drivers and drive only 9% of the total 
vehicle miles. Sixty percent of the 15-19 
vear old drivers killed in auto accidents 
were found to have been drinking, 43% 
were legally intoxicated. Nineteen percent 
of the persons in the 14-17 year old age 
gi-oup are problem drinkers as compared 
to 7% of the adult population. Eighty 
percent of vandalism on college campuses 
is alcohol-related. The Insurance Institute 
for Highway Safety made a study of 
nine states where the drinking age was 
raised. It found that in eight states the 
reduction in night time fatal crashes 
involving young drivers ranged up to 
7 5%. On the average, a state that raises 
its drinking age can expect on the average 
a 28% reduction in night time fatal crash 



involvement among drivers the law change 
applies to. Economist Dennis C. McCormac 
of the National Bureau of Economist 
Research, Inc. studied teenage vehicle 
mortality rates in the 1970-75 period 
when many states lowered the drinking 
age to 18. His conclusion: Lowering the 
drinking age not only significantly increased 
vehicular mortality rates among teenagers 
in the states making the change, but 
also affected the number of deaths in 
bordering states. His calculations indicated 
that had the minimum drinking age in 
all states in the U.S. been 21 during 
the period studied, well over 700 lives 
a year would not have been killed or 
injured. 

There are also medical reasons for 
raising the drinking age. Alcohol addiction 
is the result of a sensitivity of the hypothalamus 
section of the brain. The hypothalamus, 
in conjunction with the autonomic nervous 
system, is the section of the brain which 
controls the necessary automatic operations 
of the body such as the heart beat, salivary 
glands, thyroid gland and adrenal gland,

ABORTION ISSUE: 

Dear Editor, 

After reading last 
week's letter to the 
Editor concerning 
the abortion issue, 
I am compelled to 
respond and offer 
a point that I do not 
believe has ben touched 
on yet. This letter 
is by no means an 
attack on the authors 
of last week's letter 
or the previous 

commentaries. I simply 
feel that there is another 
angle by which to 
view this complex 
issue. 

The debate seems 
to be going on between 
the pro-lile and pro- 
-choice movements, 
but the real question, 
though, is even a bit 
deeper. Is the fetus 
a human life or not? 
Have we defined life 
to a definite list of 
criteria? Not being 
able to answer this 
question, we must 
conclude that we 
scientifically and 
philosophically do 
not know if this complex 
bit of protoplasm 
and DNA is in fact 
a life. Life is either 



present or it is not, 
for there is no half-way 
life. Either the six 
week old fetus is a 
human life or it is 
not, so let's compromise 
and admit that we 
do not know and cannot 
answer this question. 
A man is innocent 
until proven guilty. 
We have not proven 
that the fetus is human 
life; consequently, 
we have not proven 
that the fetus is not 
life. We only have 
extreme personal 
convictions on either 
side. There is a possibil- 
ity exists, do we dare 
take the chance of 
possibly ending a life? 

There is nothing 
I hold more strongly 
than my freedom to 
choose. my destiny, 
but when my freedom 
effects the outcome 
of another life, I have 
misused my freedom. 
If there is even a slight 
chance that this little 
organism is indeed 
a human life, then 
we have no choice 
but to opt for life. 
No matter how convicted 
one may be that the 
fetus is not really

Yearbook options considered 



The Publications 
Committee is currently 
studying the pros and 
cons of having the 
student yearbooks 
delivered in the spring, 
as opposed to the 
fall delivery that is 
currently the procedure, 
according to Lida 
Burris, Publications 
Committee chairperson. 



Mr. J.C. Anthony, 
Millsaps' Herff-Jones 
(yearbook printer) 
representative, came 
to the Publications 
Committee meeting 
held Monday, February 
4, and presented the 
pros and cons of each 
option.

delivery started three 
years ago, when Betsy 
Bradley was the Boba-

to include spring activi- 
ties such as baseball, 
graduation, and spring 
plays in the yearbook. 
This could only be 
done with a yearbook 
that would be delivered 
the following fall. 
He cited the major 
drawback to fall delivery 
is the problem of 
graduated seniors 
getting their book. 

Burris said the Comm- 
ittee is unsure as to 
what the majority 
of the Millsaps student 
body would prefer, 
so members of t.;c 
Publications Committee 
will be in the Student 
Union next week at 
different times asking 
various students what 
their opinion is.

Winter comes 
to Millsaps 

by Kelly Wilford 

Millsaps students had a vacation from 
classes last Friday, February 1, According 
to Leonard Poison, Millsaps' Director 
of Services, Millsaps President George 
Harmon and other administrators decided 
to close the school, and Poison called 
the Jackson Emergency Operations Center 
(EOC) at their direction at 6:45 a.m. 
Poison said the EOC was the "official" 
channel that schools, businesses, etc. 
must use in order to disseminate informat- 
ion in cases such as this. The EOC, after 
being notified, then contacts the media 
about closings. 

Poison said at about 4:15 p.m., tree 
branches loaded with ice got in the power 
lines between Sanders and Bacot, and 





photo by Christine Martin 

eventually caused a power failure on 
the north side of the campus. Poison 
said everything north of the street in 
front of the Academic Complex had 
its power out, including all three girls' 
dorms, the security offices, food service, 
and the gymnasium. Poison said two 
members of the Millsaps maintenance 
crew stayed on campus to help the power 
company find the problem, and the power 
was off until 3:15 or 3:30 Saturday morn- 
ing. At about 5:00 a.m. the maintenance 
crew determined that everything was 
back to normal, but continued to monitor 
things Saturday and Sunday. 

Nancy Moore, Associate Dean of Student 
Affairs, said that female dorm residents 
were encouraged to go to friends' or 
relatives' houses in the Jackson area 
on Friday night, and that students also 
stayed at sorority houses and the Holiday 
Inn next door. She also said special 
permission was given for students to 
stay in the lounges of Galloway and Ezelle.

Poison said that the school had rooms 
reserved at the Holiday Inn for two 
maintenance men, "six or eight" food 
service workers, and "three or four" 
security workers who stayed there in 
order that they could continue to keep 
the college running as smoothly as possible. 

Poison said there was some confusion 
about whether the college would be open 
Monday or not, but that Sunday night 
Harmon and other officials decided to 
go ahead and open the college Monday. 
Poison notified the EOC, and most of 
the media received the correct informat- 
ion, but "(television) channel 16 and 
one of the radio stations had the wrong 
information and announced that we would 
be closed." He said the switchboard recei- 
ved numerous calls, and that it "was 
unfortunate" that the stations got the 
misinformation, adding that as late as 
8:30 Monday morning channel 16 was 
still broadcasting that Millsaps was dosed.

Legislation to raise drinking age considered 



by David Setzer 

It appears that many Millsaps students 
will lose one of their rights in the near 
future. A bill in the Mississippi Legislature 
could disenfranchise persons between 
the age of 18 and ZO, by not allowing 
them to legally purchase or consume 
light wine or beer as of July 1, 1985. 

Last year, a proposal to raise the drink- 
ing age in Mississippi to 19 died in the 
House Ways and Means subcommittee. 
This year, however, the passage of an 
even stiff er version seems eminent, 
largely due to a federal law passed that 
requires all states to raise their drinking 
age to Zl by Oct. 1, 1986 or lose five 
percent of their highway funds by the 
first year and an additional five percent 
for each additional year the law is not 
in effect. Mississippi stands to lose $10 
million in highway funds the first year 
alone if the Legislature does not pass 
the law. 

There were six separate versions of 
the drinking bill introduced in the two 
Houses of the Mississippi Legislature. 
Senate Bill number Z005 seemed to fit 
the desires of Governor Allain better 



than the other versions, and thus, it 
started out in the Judiciary Committee 
of the Senate. The Bill, sponsored by 
Z9 of the 5Z member Senate easily passed 
the entire Senate with only two decenting 
votes on Jan. 11. 

Two attempts were made to amend 
the bill while it was on the Senate floor. 
The first, sponsored by Bob Usey of Gulf- 
port, Alan Heflin of Forest, and Jim 
White of Baldwyn, would have allowed 
people who are ninteen and twenty to 
be unaffected by the new bill, while 
the second attempt, sponsored by White 
would have made members of the military 
exempt from the bill. Both amendments 
were rejected by the Senate. 

The bill is now in the same committee 
in which it died last year. If it makes 
it through the committee, it will go 
before the one-hundred-twenty-two 
member House of Representatives for 
approval. Two Representatives feel 
that the results will be different this 
year. Both Doloris "Bo" Robinson of 
Hamilton and Ed Jackson of Cleveland 
feel that it will pass in the House as 
it did in the Senate. 



Robinson Sc.id that he will vote for 
the bill because it seems that "a majority 
of the people in my area want it." In 
all of Robinson's district (Monroe County) 
no type of alcoholic beverages can be 
sold. He added, "I do not think it will 
have any trouble in the House." 

Jackson, who is the Chairman of the 
Penitentiary Committee, said "I might 
not vote for it because I don't want the 
federal government to have too much 
control over us." He felt that each state 
ought to have the control of its drinking 
age. He added that people who have 
to fight for their country should be able 
to drink whenever they wish, but he 
speculated, "A majority of the Represent- 
atives will vote for it because of the 
possibility of the loss of highway funds." 

Contained in the nine-page bill are 
provisions to permit the courts to impose 
stiffer penalties' in the form of fines 
or imprisonmsent or both. A $Z5 to 
$50 fine or a sentence of thirty days 
of community or both can be handed 
down to a minor who possesses alcohol 
or uses a false identity to try to obtain 
it. Adults who purchase alcohol for 
a minor face the same punishment. 



ALCOHOL, from p. Z 

much of which controls the emotional 
and physical make up of a person. The 
full development and maturity of the 
hypothalamus occurs somewhere between 
ages ZO and ZZ. The action of the alcohol 

is channeled directly toward the adolescent's 
imbalanced hypothalamus and autonomic 
nervous, system, thereby obstructing 
his emotional maturation on both psychological 
and physiological levels, according to 
the Director of Alcoholism Therapy 
at the U.S. Veteran Hospital in Houston, 
Texas. The Associate Director of the 
Alcohol Clinic at Stanford University 
Medical Center states "Alcoholism in 
adolescents develops rapidly, with some 
teenagers becoming alcoholics within 
six months of taking their first drink. 
The increasing incidence of teenage 
problem drinking and alcoholism is attributable 
to the fact that alcohol is easier to obtain 
than hard drugs and is more acceptable 
both socially and legally." 

Enforcing the law will be difficult, 
I admit. But as a friend suggested to 
me, if the legal drinking age were Zl, 
maybe 18 year olds could get away with 
buying beer; whereas while the legal 
age is 18, even younger students can 
pass as being legal to drink. In Mississippi, 
a survey done by Mississippi State found 
that 55% of 8-1 Z graders in two major 
Mississippi towns were consuming alcohol 
once a week. In another 1981 "survey 
which was of Jackson high school students, 
86.7% said they had experimented with 
alcohol, while 12% said they drank daily. 

Only six states (Hawaii, Vermont, 
Louisiana, Colorado, Kansas and Mississippi) 
and the District of Columbia have 18 
as the legal drinking age, and the majority 
of these states are sure to raise their 
drinking age in the near future. Twenty-three 
states have the legal drinking age of 
Zl for all alcoholic beverages. I would 



like to see Mississippi join their ranks. 

Every ten seconds someone under Zl 
has an alcohol-related accident. In the 
time it has taken you to read this editorial, 
approximately ZO persons under Zl have 
been involved in an alcohol-related accident. 
I encourage you to make your opinion 



about the pending legislation known 
to your representative if you are from 
Mississippi, and tell him/her why you 
feel like you do. This will help to determine 
how he/she will vote.

C.S.'s to change format 



Because of the new 
legislation concerning 
the drinking age, C.S.'s 
is going to make some 
changes, according 
to C.S.'s employee 
Ricky Cummins. 

If the pending legislat- 
ion raising the drinking 
age passes, the new 
drinking age for all 
alcoholic beverages 
will be Zl, and most 
of the students that 
go to C.S.'s are under 
Zl, said Cummins. 
So, in order for C.S.'s 
to continue serving 
alcohol, they must 
reorganize their floor 
plan to accomodate 
those over and under 
the legal drinking 
age, he said. 

The plan stands 
now for expansion. 
The C.S.'s as we know 
it will stay the same, 
Cummins said, but 
an annex will be added 
on to the back. This 
part will serve liquor, 



have an oyster bar, 
and jazz band,. The 
other part will continue 
to serve food. 

Cummins said all 
these plans are scheduled 
to begin in March, 



and if all goes well, 
everything should 
be finished in July. 

C.S.'s will remain 
open throughout the 
construction period, 
Cummins said.

Sports in the slow lane 



by Matt Kaye 



Seeing snow this past weekend 
probably make everyone's dreams 
come true, but having experienced 
27 inches already this winter, my 
thoughts shifted elsewhere. In parti- 
cular, I began to think about all 
the artificialities that dominate 
sports today. 

Besides specific rule changes, 
artificial turf and domes have been 
the major factors in corrupting 
and domesticating football. Players 
are supposed to get cut up and dirty 
and hot and cold and just about 
everything else. Old Minnesota Vikings 
games were played in blizzards 
at the Met. Nowadays, the Vikes 
play indoors with the temperature 
-egulated at 72 degrees. We need 
:o nuke this "civilized" breed of 
football. I say bring back the natural 
jrass, the head slap and the hand 
lose-blow. 

In baseball, new innovations have 
ilso retarded the game. Like football, 
laseball is subject to new rules, 
urf and domes. Nobody is interested 
a watching a groundball on turf 



that can't take a bad hop. Pitchers 
have also been limited. What's really 
that bad about the spitball or the 
puffball? He's just trying to get 
on edge. It probably won't be that 
long until the curveball is outlawed 
so we can watch those 14 to 12 
slugfest. 

Batters have also been cheated. 
If they were smart enough to think 
up the pine tar and corked bat rou- 
tines, then they should be able to 
keep them. 

Other unnecessaries that we are 
subject to include gloves on boxers. 
Heck, it's the gloves that cause 
all that needless punishment. It's 
better to have the swift KO than 
the accumulation of hundreds of 
punches. 

Finally, and most protected of 
them all, is tennis and golf. Really, 
if fans can hurl obscenities at an 
18 year old college kid shooting 
freethrows, then why can't we yell 
at these professional athletes. Would- 
n't it be great if you could scream 
at match point, "Choke Conners 
you son of a ."

reviews 

1984 in review 



by Reed Hubbard 



It's 1985, and I don't think we can just write 
off 1984 without some tribute. It was a good 
year for music with some surprises, some 
disappointments, and many astounding 
achievements. 

The Go-go's receive top honors this year for 
•their outstanding, fun to listen to, party music 
album entitled Talk Show. Likewise, KISS receives 
bottom position for their unbelievable, idiotic 
attempt at a comeback. I'll probably catch some 
more flack for saying that Bruce Springsteen's 
Born in the U.S.A. is overrated and for not putting 
it in my top ten, but that's how it goes. I was 
disappointed with Springsteen's "super hometown 
working class blue jean" image and felt it unworthy 
of the acclaim it has received this year (although 
I hear he's great in concert). 

A little more explaining is necessary. I felt 
it a big joke to see a Brooklyn- reject that dresses 
like a gypsy's nightmare receive such great success, 
and Yoko Ono continued to capitalize on her 
husband's death while ripping off the American 
public again this year. Yoko, however, is not 
alone. She ties with the moronic, ever-rated, 
over-promoted, over-capitalized Victory tour 
by the Jacksons, which proves that anyone can 
make money. 

Well, I think I've said all there is to say, so, 
accepting full responsibility, here is my list: 

Album of the year Talk Show Go-go's 
Song of the year "Against All Odds" Phil Collins 
Artist of the year Prince KISS 
Worst album of the yea.. - Animalize 
Worst song of the year "State of Shock" 



The 

Jacksons (with Mick Jagger) 



Worst artist of tne year 



Motlev Crue/W.A.S.P. (tie) 
Overrated year Born in the U.S.A. Bruce Springsteen 
Underrated album All Over the Place Bangles 
Surprise album The Big Express XTC 
Disappointing album Shout Devo 
Music movie of the year This is Spinal Tap 

Icicle Works 

Video of the year Whisper to a Scream (Birds Fly) 
Joke of the year Cyndi Lauper's instant fame 
Biggest rip-off of the year Victory Tour/Yoko Ono

FIRE ALARM, from p. 2 

me, the R.A., to put 
on their coats and 
immediately head 
to the parking lot 
until told otherwise 
and that I didn't know 
if the alarm was sound- 
ing because of fire 
or accident. Many, 
however, became 
irritated that they 
had to bare the cold, 
but it's better to bare 
the cold than the heat- 
if that be the case, 
no? It is always better 
to be safe than sorry. 
Now, Miss Ham, 
. would you have preferred 
that I run downstairs 
to see if the alarm 
was valid and due 
to fire? I'm sorry but 
that can never be 
for the main reason 
that needed time could 
be lost on my way 
down and up and your 
way down. Moreover 
on point number two, 
due to a lost key the 
evening of the alarm, 
I still happened to 
have the master key 
which I did take it 
as my responsibility 
to use for opening 
rooms in order that 
I may check for hard 

sleepers or those 

irresponsible, hiding 

students who failed 
to respond. Fortunately, 

every room I checked 

was freed from 
residents. 

You say that six 
people on your wing 
came into the hall. 
Did you ever stop 
to think, Miss Ham, 
that the other ten 
may have already 
responded, were on 
another floor, or simply 
were not in the dorm? 
The same considerations 
should be extended 
to the R.A.'s. We are 
not required to be 
here in the dorm 24 
hours a day. For obvious 



reasons we cannot. 
This is why we have 
an R.A. on duty every 
night. We are humans 
too; we need private 
time, social time, 
study time, etc. just 
as others do. Now, 
Miss Ham, let's assume 
you were the only 
R.A. in the building, 
could you get everybody 
out and every room, 
study room, and bath- 
room checked in five 
minutes, ten? I sincerely 
doubt it. The respons- 
ibilities are many 
sided, are they not? 
OK, this is where 
you, the student, can 
help. We all need to 
respond to these situa- 
tions appropriately 
and responsibly. Quest- 
ions as to whether 



or not the alarm is 
a drill or accident 
shouldn't even be asked 
inside the dorm; it 
merely adds to the 
confusion and perhaps 
could cause loss of 
needed time in a real 
crisis. Residents should 
respond as we have 
taught (or tried to 
teach) in floor meetings 
as well as read the 
run-off copies of "Fire 
Alarm Procedures" 
given to every room 
to read and place 
in a convenient place. 
We do not waste our 
time, energy, and 
money for nothing. 
It takes 10-15 minutes 
to respond and complete 
a fire drill (if everyone 
cooperates) and three 
minutes to read the

handout. Again allow 
me to stress that it 
is for this reason we 
are discussing that 
we provide you with 
information. We do 
care . So, to say that 
the dorms are "totally 
unprepared" is a vicious 
exageration. 

Finally, to say that 
"I have no doubt that 
some would die in 
case of fire" yes, is 
a true statement. 
This also, Miss Ham, 
is true of 99% of all 
major fires. N) matter 
how careful we may 
be, there is always 



the chance that some 
won't make it. Hopefully, 
this will never happen 
here at our college. 

Greta, instead of 
making unfounded 
attacks on institutions, 
may I suggest that 
you offer reasonable 
alternatives to present 
policy you may find 
to be unsatisfactory. 
I feel that in this way 
change and improvement 
can be obtained in 
a positive and construct- 
ive manner.

by Kelly Wilford 



The emphasis of 
Founders Weekend, 
which is this weekend, 
February 15 and 16, 
is on the 50th anniver- 
sary of the Millsaps 
Singers, according 
to Bill Campbell, Direct- 
or of Alumni Activities. 
Campbell said "We 
want to highlight the 
anniversary of the 
Singers, as being one 
of the oldest campus 
activities, and one 
that has had a good 
deal of positive influence 
on the campus and 
the community over 
the years." 

The weekend begins 
with Friday Forum 
at 12:30 on Friday 
in room Z15 of the 
Academic Complex. 
Dr. Samuel Jones, 
Professor at Rice 
University and Millsaps 
alumnus, will present 
a . program dealing 
with the trends in 
contemporary classical 
music. Campbell said 
that Jones will bring 
a cassette tape to 
demonstrate the change 
in contemporary classic- 



inside.

New Senators elected 



by KeUy Wilford 



The Millsaps Student 
Senate has six new 
members, according 
to Mac Bailey, SBA 
2nd Vice President. 

The election, which 
took place last Thursday, 
was held to fill the 
places of several Senat- 
ors who were either 
elected as SBA officers 
or who were removed 
because of excess- 
ive absences. Three 



new Senators were 
elected in the campus — 
wide election. The 
three elected were 
Bill Lang (141 votes), 
Barton Thrasher (121) 
and Scott Christian 
(118). The off-campus 
Senators elected are 
Whit McKinley (26 
votes) and Mark Hamrick 
(23). 

David Spight was 
selected as the Galloway 
representative with 
cont. on p. 8 



al music. 

Campbell said that 
former Singers will 
have a practice session 
at 4:00 Friday afternoon, 
and following that, 
from 5:00 to 6:00, 
President and Mrs. 
George Harmon will 
host a reception at 
them home to honor 
former Millsaps Singers. 

Saturday's events 
begin at 10:30 a.m. 
with a Troubadours 
concert in the Recital 
Hall of the Academic 
Complex. Campbell 
said that this perform- 
ance will be a sort 
of prelude to the Found- 
ers Luncheon. Founders 
Luncheon is an establish- 
ed S event, according 

to Campbell, and is 
the highlight of the 
weekend's activities. 
At this luncheon, which 
begins at 12:00, the 
Distinguished Professor 
Award will be presented. 
Also at this time, 
an alumnus will be 
recognized for outstand- 
ing service at Alumnus 
of the Year. The lunch- 
eon will also feature 

ing service as Alumnus 
of the Year. The lunch- 



eon will also feature 
a musical performance 
given by current and 
alumni Singers, said 
Campbell. He said 
the alumni choir will 
perform a few numbers 
under the direction 
of Leland Byler who, 
until his retirement 
five years ago, was 
the Singers director 
for about twenty years. 
The current Singers 
will also perform under 
the direction of Dr. 
Tim Coker, Singers 
director. He said that 
several student singers 
will be spotlighted 
during this program. 
The luncheon will 
be in the cafeteria. 

The weekend concludes 
at 2:00 p.m. with a 
memorial observance. 
Flowers will be placed 
at : the mausoleum 
of Major Reuben Webster 
Millsaps, which is 
located between the 
Center and 
Hall, said 
He said 
a "rather

GRE rescheduled 



by Tracey Miller 



The Graduate Record Exam, which was cancelled 
on account of extreme cold weather and ice 
on February 2, has been rescheduled for Saturday, 
February 23, in Murrah Hall, according to Dean 
Robert King. 

Students registered for the GRE should receive 
new admission tickets this week, said Dean of 
Student Affairs Stuart Good. One change that 
has been made is in test location, which has 
been changed from the Academic Complex to 
Murrah Hall. Students will be directed to specific 
locations by someone located at Murrah on the 
test date, Good said.

opinion 

The Purple and 
White needs 
your input! 

I have been wanting to write this editor- 
ial for a month now, but due to more 
"pressing" matters, just haven't had the 
opportunity. A lot of you are used to 
reading one of these editorials once 
a semester, so bear with me. This editorial 
is to encourage suggestions for the Purple 
and White. This is YOUR student news- 
paper, and I really'want to put what 
you want to read in the paper. There 
is always criticism to be heard when 
the paper comes out, but what would 
help the staff is to write suggestions 
down and let us hear from you about 
how you feel. I've heard "The paper is 
boring" but never any suggestions on 
how to make it less so. I agree that it 
may be boring sometimes, but I'll never 
know what would make it better unless 
you tell me what you would like to read 
about. I probably am not the "typical 
Millsaps student:" just about everything 
is interesting to me. I guess that's all 
a part of my journalistic-centered brain. 

I also would like to clarify our advertis- 
ing policy. Campus organizations get 
ads at half the normal price. Contrary 
to popular belief, on-campus ads are 
not free. It was tried that way in the 



past, but didn't work out. It is just too 
hard to choose who should get them 
free and who shouldn't. We are on a budget, 
and our advertising money is a large 
part of the budget. Therefore, space 
that is taken up in the paper by ads must 
be paid for. If you have a program or 
meeting, I suggest either a small ad 
(the prices are very reasonable) or a 
brief. That's what the "briefs" column 
is for. I would like to give everyone free 
ads, but we just can't. Thank goodness 
my business manager, advisor and the 
Publications Committee back me up 
on this and insist that it must be done 
that way. For the first time in a while, 
this semester, also, we are going to try 
to run personal student ads, such as Birth- 
day or Congratulatory ads. Although 
I can see where this could get out of 
hand, I also see it as a nice student service. 
The decision of whether to put something 
questionable in the paper or not will 
be left up to the Editorial staff. 

Another pitch is for Letters to the 
Editor. You all did so well for the first 
three papers this semester. Do you have 
any complaints, congratulations or suggest- 
ions for anything at all- world-wide, 
state-wide, on campus, or for the paper? 
Write a Letter to the Editor! All letters 
must be signed, but may be printed anonymous- 
ly. Nobody but the Editor ever sees these 
letters, and confidentiality will always 
be maintained. ^ 

I would also like to see the staff increase, 
naturally. All of you who have the slightest 
hint of interest, please let me know. 
No matter what your field of in terest- 
sports, reviews, editorials, etc.- we 
need your input! I'm sure there are tons 
of potential writers, photographers and 
typists (photographers and typists even 
get paid!). If you are interested in working 



on the P & W, put a note in our box (15424) 
or come to the staff meetings- every 
Tuesday at 4:30 (come by on your way 
to dinner) upstairs in the Union.

feedback: Students speak out on 3 



by Tracey Miller 

Frequently students at Millsaps take advantage of academic 
programs outside of Millsaps' boundaries with programs such as the 
British Studies at Oxford program or the Washington Semester. Last 
semester three students took advantage of such programs, and one 
other took the semester off. all to participate in activities outside 
of the Millsaps boundaries. Debbie McGregor, Ricky Ramirez, 
Elizabeth Forsythe and Ginger Jackson all spent time away from 
Millsaps during last semester. Their individual accounts are below. 

Rome.... 

Debbie McGregor spent last semester as a "guinea pig" for Millsaps 
College. 

Through a program of Stanford University, McGregor attended 
the Inter-Collegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome. "The 
program has been in existance for about 20 years, and this is the 
first year Millsaps has been involved." Next year, she added, Millsaps 
will join the association so more Millsaps students can attend. Because 
Millsaps is not a member this year, McGregor said she had to go 
through Dean Robert/ King and the Academic Council for permission 
to apply the credits to her Millsaps transcript. Basically, she said, 
a student must be a junior or senior classics major, be able to provide 
two recommendations and an essay as to why acceptance is important. 

The semester abroad consists of a 16 hour semester, Drcken down 
into one eight-hour class on Rome encompassing art, history and 
archaeology, and either Latin, Greek or Italian. Students are in the 
classroom for two days per week and travel the other three days 
in Italy and Rome for on-sight classes. Weekends are free for 
independent travel. McGregor took fall break from classes in Greece 
for further independent studies. 

While in Rome, McGregor said the 29 students, 27 of whom were 
American and 2 students studying at American universities, lived 
in a co-educational converted cloister, living, eating and having 
classes all in the same building. They lived in Vechio Monte Verdi, 
she said, which was outside the Aurelian Wall that surrounds the 
ancient city. 

Academically, McGregor said the classes were very hard, but 
it was harder to study at all in Rome because there are "so many 
other things you want to do." She added that there were two tests 
in each class, a mid-term and a final. 

McGregor said that studying the ancient Romans "brought out 
correlations with modern Romans' everyday lives; you can really 
see the influence from Roman society to our society." She added 
that in Pompeii, for example, there are bars for food and drink in 
the streets and specialized stores that sell meat, cheese or canned 
goods still in existance. Through classes the students visited ancient 
cities and temples or the ancient forum, and often would see about 
one foot of a foundation and city remains and be expected to visualize 
the entire ancient city, she said. 

The American student's life consisted basically of class until late 
afternoon, then shopping or sight-seeing, dinner, homework and 
finally more walks in the city to such "hangouts" as the Pantheon 
and Piazza Navona, where many artists display their talents. "The 
Italians love to be outside," she said and you have to get used to 
this. She added that Rome is a small city and everything is within 
walking or busing distance. 

While in Rome, she said, Pope John Paul II presented a Christmas 
mass for university student-s. Vechio Monte Verdi is about a 20 minute 
walk from the Vatican. 

Much of their free time, she added, was spent visiting places such 
as the Vatican, the smallest independent state in the world, or the 
Pantheon. "I picked up Italian just by being there," McGregor said. 
You get to know the people in the neighborhood bars, she added. 
In Rome "you get attached to the people" and once you get to know 
them, they're very friendly and outgoing, she said. 

McGregor also said that many of the art objects that students 
have seen in pictures for so long are "undescribable in person," either 
much smaller or much larger. "You wonder how they had the ingenuity 
[to create such things]." 



Washington.... 

The United States capital was the setting for Ginger Jackson's 
fall semester. She participated in the Washington Semester, a program 
the Millsaps is a member of designed to offer various aspects of study 
in Washington D.C. 

Jackson, a junior English major from Yazoo City, said about 500 
students participated. They were divided by interest int<^ groups of 
approximately 20 students each. The different programs were Journal- 
ism, Foreign Policy, Arts and Humanities and Economics. The semester 
is worth 12 academic hours and students from all over the United 
States participate and live on the American University campus. The 
program is very well organized, Jackson said, and "the goal is to get 
people acquainted with the subject matter, but to do this in the 
Washington setting." 

Jackson said that each group had a faculty advisor or teacher to 
organize for them. She added that her advisor called herself an "aca- 
demic tour guide." The advisors arranged meetings with people in 
her profession for the students who were looking for internships. 
Each student, Jackson said, interned two days a week with class the 
other three days. 

"You have to choose your own internship," she said, "and many 
suggestions are given, such as names of people to work for." A grade 
is given for internship and for class, she said. 

Jackson said her internship was with the Association of American 
Colleges. A new committee within the association, she added, is the 
Council for Liberal Learning, which deals with issues of interest to 
the liberal arts. Jackson said she monitored education legislation 
and kept track of a certain bill and with house and senate sponsors 
of that bill. She said she also kept in touch with other educational 
organizations interested in education, for example - the American 
Society for Training and Developing, which was interested in the 
same things as the other association. 

She said that another council project was a High School Visitation 
Project. It would bring liberal arts professors together witt\ high school 
teachers for the expressed purpose of arranging lectures to high schools 
about the "virtues" of a liberal arts college. 

Jackson said she worked and reported on what these organizations 
were doing, and wrote a lengthy report on the life of the bill she 
followed for her internship. 

In class, Jackson said, "there are no lectures [from her advisor], 
but meetings off campus." Most students are from liberal arts colleges, 
she said, and "we were all in it .together, not really students of the 
American University, but Washington Semester students." The classes 
were arranged to see a lot of the city. 

Jackson said that her journalism section visited the Washington 
Post, the New York Times Washington Bureau, NBC, USA Today, 
the Supreme Court and the Library of Congress. Lectures were given 
at each place to their class. 

Projects she was involved with, Jackson said, consisted of the public 
relations role of government and the role of the Washington reporter 
(either Capital Hill, the White House, etc.). Specifically they were 
pointing out, she said, "not to take what's given but to get to the 
route of what's going on through research and interviews [concerning 
the subject matter]." One lecturer to the journalism class was ABC's 
Sam Donaldson. 

She added that they visited the Associated Press and United Press 
International news rooms, and frequently saw wire stories at those 
news rooms, and "went to the source." Jackson said they also went 
to hearings and reported on them. 

She said the journalism students also did several research papers 
- one on individual students' state senator or senator's preps secretary 
concerning their press operation. This was one basis for the semester's 
study - the press operation. Students also did a research paper on 
the agency of their choice. Jackson's agency was the Department 
of Health and Human Services. 

About city life in Washington, Jackson commented that a good 

solid example was Hollywood in Georgetown: "It's more crowded thai 
Mardi Gras."

ast semester's experiences 

Hawaii.., 



The decision to take a semester off from college is never an easy 
one, but Ricky Ramirez decided early last summer that he would 
devote six to eight months to athletic training. 

The goal? Hawaii's Ironman Competition, known as the most prestig- 
ious triathalon that "everyone aspires to run." The event measures 
a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bicycle race, and a 26.2 mile run. Out 
of 10,000 applicants per year, 1200 are accepted to run the Ironman. 
"If you've done the Ironman," Ramirez said, "then you've pretty 
much done all triathalons have to offer." Rameriz is a junior English 
major from Covington, Louisiana. 

Ramirez said he got involved with the race from a friend who 
ran the Ironman four years ago. He said the two worked out together 
and the idea of running grew from there until he entered and was 
accepted as an Ironman competitor. 

Ramirez received sponsorship from Bud Light and from several 
o fund raising Triathalons in Covington. The total cost was about $3000, 
he said, because when you're training you "can't make any money 
while training" and everything is cost. 

Taking out the fall 1984 semester to train for the race because 
there was "no way to hold a full time job and train at the same time," 
Ramirez said, he spent four to seven hours a day working out and 
three to four hours as a swim instructor and coach. "Besides swimming 
I would eat," he said, "eating about 5000 calories a day - losing weight 
rather than gaining." 

Leading up to the Ironman, which took place on October 6, Ramirez 
said he traveled and ran several races in Jackson, Alabama, Florida 
and Tennessee. He said that he worked for about a month, then ran 
a race to note any progressions. "You interspace races so you don't 
really get tired of racing. You use them [secondary races] as a measur- 
ing stick for the Ironman." He said that many of these races are 
qualifying races for the Ironman, some measured as half-Ironman's 
and some a quarter of the distance. He said that the smaller races 
get progressively longer so as to build up tolerance for the distance 
that the Ironman requires. 

Ramirez said that you can qualify with one race if you are either 
the overall winner or the winner in a specific age group. Another 
way to qualify is by lottery, for which 8000 people apply and 200 
are selected. Ramirez qualified through lottery, which he termed 
as "sneaking in through the back door," but had also won an age-divis- 
ion race in Tennessee that could have acted as his winning criteria 
if he thought it necessary. The Tennessee race was a half-Ironman, 
measuring a 1.2 mile swim, a 56 mile bicycle race, and a 13.1 mile 
run. 

In order to acclimate to the^temperature and surroundings of Hawaii, 
Ramirez said he arrived in Honolulu and transferred to the island 
of Hawaii about a week and a half before the race and then trained 
about a week. 

One striking difference that Ramirez said he noticed was the 
heat of the islands. "It's unlike anything I'd ever felt before - by 
8:00 a.m. it was as hot as it gets here during any normal day." 
Geographically, he said, Hawaii is black lava that i-eflects the heat 
back up and makes it more intense. 

Before the race begins, the participants spend a few days "carbohy- 
drate loading," which is a method of taking in high carbohydrates, 
low fat and high vegetables, so that they are "not dehydrated or 
at a loss for anything." The Ironman race began at 7:30 a.m. with 
1200 participants in the water, awaiting the cannon start. 

Ramirez said the saltwater is both easy and hard for swimming 
the 1.2 miles out and back to shore and that he felt "really strong 
in the water," and that the water was easy. Once out of the water 
the participants quickly shower off the salt water, change and begin 
the 112 mile bicycle race. "The hardest part," he said, "was that 
about 50 miles out, there are about six to eight miles of headwinds 
of about 35 miles per hour off the ocean. He said it was also very 
hot. "I made the mistake of not drinking or eating enough," Rai.iirez 
jsaid. He added that during the bike race there is not much to see 
on the island and the blackness "gets the best of you - like the moon; 
it's a mental thing." Ramirez said that he dehydrated and took a 
long time on the run, walking much of it and slowing his time down. 

He finished about 10 p.m., one of 1000 who actually finished the 
race. Professionals like Dave Scott, this year's winner and four-time 
Ironman winner, broke the 10 hour Ironman record with a time of 



Germany.... 

■ Elizabeth Forsythe said that when Dr. Steve Hering, education 
de-partment chairperson, asked her where she wanted to student 
teach, the expected response was one of several schools in the Jackson 
area. Forsythe had different ideas. 

With permission from the Millsaps education department, Dean 
Robert King and finally the United States Department of Defense, 
Forsythe was able to student teach in the Department of Defense 
Dependents of the U.S. Army School System in Kitzingen, Germany, 
located about one hour from Frankfurt. 

Forsythe taught kindergarten classes to American children whose 
fathers are in the army and stationed in Germany. She said some 
students were of different nationalities and were also learning English 
as a second language in another school program. The school she 
taught at was the Sulzfeld School, located on a military base but 
still within a German community. She said she taught a morning 
and an afternoon class with many young, single American female 
teachers. These teachers entered the program for a two year appoint- 
ment as a teacher, and Forsythe said she plans to apply for a full 
time teaching position through the Department of Defense once 
she has the required one-year teaching experience behind her. 

She explained that the school wasn't any different than block teach- 
ing in schools here and that the only difference is in setting. She 
said that they did try to take advantage of every opportunity to 
expose the children to Germany through travel, because many students 
who lived on military bases for extended periods of time stretched 
their travel experiences out over a longer period. "They didn't [necess- 
arily] get to take advantage of all things that Germany had to offer," 
Forsythe said. She said she took field trips with the kids, to castles, 
towns, or just went on walking tours to "get them out into the coun- 
try." 

An interesting note, she added, was that the kids were interested 
mostly in the United States. "They were bom in Germany," she said, 
and were U.S. citizens, "but the big thing was to go to the States." 
Forsythe admits that her interests were exactly opposite. 

She said that her two classes had 31 and 34 students in them, being 
therefore larger than most kindergarten classes. All kindergarten 
teachers have an aide and some have student teachers like Forsythe 
also. The semester counted as a regular 12 hour student teaching 
requirement. She said she began planning in the Spring of 1984, but 
didn't get confirmation until the end of July, when she was already 
planning to student teach in Jackson. 

Forsythe . said that one main reason she wanted to go was to live 
in a foreign country, and after a month there, it felt like home, 
especially after she became involved with the school. 

She explained that in her spare time, she and many other teachers 
traveled all over Germany to Munich for the Oktoberfest, the theater 
and sightseeing. She said she also visited Heidelberg, Black Forest, 
Rothenburg and Nurnberg. One big "vacation" was a Tew days in 
Paris, Forsythe said. She also visited Austria, Brussels and Switzer- 
land for skiing and other sightseeing ventures. 



9 hours and 56 minutes. 

"It's a humbling experience," Ramirez said. "You size people up 
before the race and when they beat you, you learn you can't judge 
people."

Lady Majors stun Fisk 



by Barton Thrasher 

On Friday, the Millsaps 
Women's Basketball 
team 1 pulled oS-i, one 
of the greatest upsets 
of the year. After 
being routed by Fisk 
in Nashville two weeks 
ago by the score of 
104 to 57, the Lady 
Majors turned the 
tables on the highly 
touted team from 
Fisk and defeated 
them 64 to 63. 

The game began 



with Millsaps jumping 
out to a quick 10 to 
2 lead behind the shoot- 
ing of senior guard 
Melissa Latimer and 
the strong inside play 
of Susan Seal, Nancy 
Messer and Cheryl 
Brooks. Fisk roared 
back to take a halftime 
lead of 29 to 24. 

Fisk began the second 
half with a tight press, 
hoping to break open 
a big lead. However, 
the Lady Majors' ability 
*to handle the pressure 



enabled them to take 
the lead for good. 
A tight zone defense 
and good free-throw 
shooting by Millsaps 
proved to be the differ- 
ence in the tightly 
contested game. Susan 
Seal led the Lady 
Majors with 17 points, 
while Nancy Messer 
and Melissa Latimer 
contributed 13 and 
12 points respectively. 
The win evened the 
Lady Majors' record 
at 7-7.

Rogers and Alabama 
release albums 

by Blake Smith 

I have yet to review any progressive country 
album, but here are two to make up for my 
negligence. While Kenny Rogers' release What 
About Me? isn't "new" anymore, it has only had 
two tunes released from it. The latest release 
"Crazy" has the special love ballad magic that 
seems to flow from every Kenny Rogers slow 
song. While most of them are great, they do 
lack a bit in originality, chord differential, and 
rhythm categories because most of them sound 
similar. Kim Carnes, James Ingram, and Cindy 
Fee put a little more polish on the album to 
reconcile some of the lack-luster originality. 
The album is well worth the purchase.

Each category is averaged (Overall Impression

While Kenny Rogers' album is not hot off the 
press, Alabama's 40 Hour Week is. It too possesses 
the slow-song-romantic syndrome. They write 
a few decent tunes like "As Right Now" and 
"I Want to Know You Before We Make Love" 
and sell the album on them. The rest of the album 
was written for "good-ole-boys" from places 
like Liberty and Lexington who have grown up 
with music like "If It Ain't Dixie (It Won't Do)." 
There must be a lot of them out there, somebody 
is buying these albums, but I'm not one of them. 
If you're a country music fan, add two to my 
ranking and then decide on your purchase of 
this working-man's album 40 Hour Week.

SWIM'ers sponsor senior class meeting 



The Class of 1985 held a class meeting 
on Thursday, February 7, at the Holiday 
Inn Medical Centei-. Sponsored by the 
SWIM Committee (Seniors With Interest 
in Millsaps), the purpose of the meeting 
was to get seniors together as a class, 
to provide information about senior-related 
events scheduled during the spring semes- 
ter to give class members the opportunity 
to complete an evaluation of their academ- 
ic and social experiences at Millsaps 
and to kick-off Project SWIM. 

Chris Cheek, SWIM Committee Chair, 
began the meeting by showing tne Millsaps 
College slide show which uepicts life 
at Millsaps and points tc the accomplish- 
ments of the College throughout its 
history. Alumni Director Bill Campbell 
welcomed the "soon to be alumni" into 
the Alumni Association and presented 



an overview of activities and services 
provided by the Office of Alumni Relat- 
ions. SWIM Committee members were 
introduced and the SWIM project goals 
were explained. 

Project SWIM's goal is to have 60 percent 
of the class members make a contribution 
to the New Ajinual Fund. According 
to Cheek, this is the sixth year that 
the members of the senior class have 
taken class support for the Annual Fund 
as spring project. "We realize that soon 
we'll be alumni," Cheek said. "During 
our time at Millsaps, we've only paid 
between 57-60 percent of the cost of 
our education. That's because others, 
especially alumni, have been generous 
with their support for the College. Now 
it's our turn to help ensure a Millsaps 
education for future students," he added. 



Cheek announced that prior to kicking 
off the SWIM project, 21 class members 
had pledged $520. To reach the 60 percent 
goal, 129 class donors are needed. "We 
realize our goals are ambitious and that 
no class participation, even with the 
older alumni, has ever been that high. 
But we're convinced the Class of 1985 
can set a standard of commitment by 
which others will be measured." 

Project SWIM Committee members 
are: Teresa Bingham, Lida Burris, Beth 
Collins, Roger Dankel, Debbie Fischer, 
Lauren Gordon, Susan Graves, Pat Gregory, 
Betsy Gwin, Richard Harb, Janna Ingle, 
Rosa Jackson, Tom Kearns, Perry Key, 
Sig Krolls, Emilie McAllister, Tara 
McPherson, Russell Mills, Beth Nichols, 
Jamie Noble, Stephanie Pella, John Pigott, 
Blake Smith, Lee Thornton, and Jo Watson.

Millsaps Players' director and Theatre professor Lance Goss watches 
a rehersal of the Millsaps Players' production of "She Stoops to Con- 
quer." The play opens February 20. 

Play to open next week 



by Tracey Miller 



The Millsaps Players third product- 
ion of their 61st year is "She Stoops 
to Conquer," which will run Feb. 
20 to 23. 

The play, for which original music 
was written by Millsaps music 
instructor McCarrell Ayers, centers 
around an actual incident in the 
life of British writer Oliver Goldsmith, 
who once mistook a private home 
for an inn at which he ordered every- 
one around, and went away very 
embarrassed about it, said Lance 
Goss, Millsaps Players director. 

The scheduled production was 
originally "L'il Abner," but "not 
nearly enough" students auditioned 
to cast the show, said Goss. 

The cast consists of twenty students, 
including: Walt Johnson as Mr. Hard- 
castle, Kara Winsett as Kate Hard- 



castle and Jill Rumke as Mrs. Hard- 
castle. Others are Kevin Brune as 
Tony Lumpkin, Rick Patt as Young 
Marlow, Wayne Small as George 
Hasting, Ali Blount as Constance 
Neville and Greg Worthington as 
Sir Charles Marlow. 

Tavern people include Trace Simpson 
as the landlord and Chris Curry, 
Seth Wheatley, John Mosetich, Randy 
Wells and Wright McFarland. David 
Page is Jeremy, and servants are 
Mike Reins as Roger, Kelly Hitchcock 
as Diggory and also Thomas Miller 
and Douglas Harper and Jennifer 
Mauterer as the maid. 

Goss added that the show, which 
takes place in the 1700s, was a huge 
success since it opened and is a 
very popular comedy in the English 
language. Goldsmith is the author 
of the novel The Vicor of Wakefield 
and the poem "The Deserted Village."

Freis receives Distinguished Prof Award 



by Ida Berg 



Dr. Catherine Freis,

of Classical Studies, 
was awarded the Disting- 
uished Professor Award 
during the Founders 
Day Luncheon on Satur- 
day, February 16, 
according to Robert 
King, Vice President 
and Dean of the College. 

Dr. Freis was chosen 
by a committee compos- 
ed of one faculty mem- 
ber from each depart- 
ment, two students 
chosen by the Dean 
of Student Affairs 
and the President 
of the Alumni Associat-

asked for nominations 
from the student body 
and faculty and a 
week before the 
announcement met 
and selected Dr. Freis 
from these nominations.

Dr. Catherine Freis, the 1985 Millsaps Distinguished Professor 

award, Dean King dedicated teacher all ages and levels 

said that Dr. Freis in love with learning 

"is in the best liberal and devoted to the 

arts tradition of the learner. Students of 



ages 

of ability speak with 
conviction of the differ- 
ence which she has

made in their personal 
and intellectual develop- 
ment — not just by 
kindling their interest 
in a subjec". which 
they might otherwise 
have not thought worth 
studying, but by training 
their minds to discern 
patterns, make connect- 
ions, and think with 
rigor in all fields of 
endeavor." 

King went on to 
share some statements 
that some of her own 
-students. One student 
said "Some might 
think it odd that I 
would recommend 
a teacher in whose 
class I received a 
'C (even after the 
hard work and time 
I put into it). However 
I learned more in that 
one class than any 
other class that I have 
taken at Millsaps.

Decision on dorm 
changes upheld 

by Tracey Miller 

Dean of Student Affairs Stuart Good said last 
week that the administration had reviewed and 
analyzed the petition presented to them by Bacot 
students two weeks ago and decided to uphold 
the decision to change Bacot into an upperclass 
women's dorm. 

The petition demanded that Bacot remain 
an upperclasSmen dorm and was signed by approxi- 
mately 140 Bacot residents. 

Good said that the decision was "based on 
the affirmation of the concept we think is most 
important - the grouping of all freshman women 
in one residence hall." Associate Dean of Student 
Affairs Nancy Moore added that housing the 
freshmen in one dorm will "pi-ovide a sense of 
unity that's so important for the freshman experi- 
ence." Good said that the administration believes 
this can be done in Bacot with the assistance 
of the residence staff. 

Cecele Williams, Bacot resident and resident 
assistant, said that the residents "are not giving 
up." Petitions have been placed around Bacot 
that ask residents to ask then* parents to write

Pigott reflects on 
the necessity 

of the SBA 

contributed by John Pigott 



Last night at 9:05 p.m. I rapped 
the gavel one last time as the S.B.A. 
administration changed hands to 



letters 



the new officers. Handing the gavel 
to Mac Bailey, and thereby transferring 
to him the authority and responsibility 
s of this organization, seemed such 
"an overly simple act to represent 
that which is, in actuality, so complex. 
Such a bizarre array of responsibilities 

does the job entail that it hardly 
seems possible to fully include all 
of them in the transference of a 
simple piece of wood. Yet, in this 
talisman is reserved responsibility " 
for this paper, all Intramural sports, 
the Symposium, the Friday Forum 
programs, the Bobashela yearbook, 
the cheerleader squad, the typewriter 
room, the Stylus literary magazine, 
all campus-wide activities (S.B.A. 
parties, Fallout, etc.), the Student 
Senate, and far more. 

On a certain Sunday afternoon 
this May many of us will be handed 
a piece of paper which will represent 
the experiences which were only 
in part academic. This certificate 



of graduation will assure us and 

the rest of the world of our intellectual 

base and skills obtained at Millsaps. 

A large part of this "Millsaps Experience" 

represented by the certificate will 

be from the activities of the Student 

Body Association. How different 

that piece of paper would be without 

Intramurals, Friday Forum, student 

publications, and campus-wide activities. 

None of this is to my personal 
credit, for it is only responsibility 
for the S.B.A.'s operations and growth 
and not credit for its successes 
which is transferred with that gavel. 

This organization's strength is 
not in one person or even in a group 
of persons but rather in its necessity. 
It succeeds because it must. Yell 
at, about, and with the S.B.A., it 
can hardly be hurt. This was made 
to be an outlet for expression, a 
medium for exchange, a sounding 
board, and a punching bag for frustrations. 
It has lived and thrived only by repeated 
subjugations. -

HARMON'S LETTER 
UNORIGINAL 



To the Editor: 

After reading Dr. 
Harmon's February 
15 memorandum 
concerning tuition 
increases, I was struck 
with a sudden and 
powerful feeling of 
de'ja vu. I was sure 
I'd seen this letter 
before, in content 
as well as form. The 
letter is almost exactly 
the same as last year's 
February 17 memorand- 



um, except for facts 
and figures that have 
obviously been adjusted. 
The biggest changes 
in this year's letter 
are, in fact, not very 
big at all. 

l)He deleted half 

a sentence in his 

introduction; 

Z)He switched from 

small type to large 

type; 

3) He switched the 
order of his paragraph 
beginning, "Finally, 
as the attached..."; 

4) And perhaps as his 
boldest literary risli 
he made two isepegate/ 
paragraphs out~ r ^ of 
one larger one. 

President Harmon 
as students, we're 
encouraged to use 
our imaginations. 
Why don't you? 
Respectfully, 
Ricky Ramirez 



STUDENTS NEED 
TO GET INVOLVED 

Dear Editor: 

A few weeks ago 
I received a note in 
my box from you. 
The note asked me 



to write a letter to 
the P&W on any topic 
I wished. [Several 
letters were sent out 
to students, faculty 
and staff members 
who had been suggested 
to write editorials.] 
The first topic that 
came to mind was 
the P&W itself. Over 
the holidays I looked 
at my little sister's 
school paper, my sister 
attends Emory in 
Atlanta, and was 
astounded at the 
differences. 

There was no compari- 
son between the two. 
Emory's paper was 
superior in almost 
every aspect. Their 
paper is twice as long 
and contains many 

things absent in our 
paper. Emory's paper 
contains movie and 
restaurant reviews, 
school improvement 
sections, point - counter- 
point articles between 
students and teachers 
dealing with current 

issues, and many other 
interesting and 
controversial elements. 
Emory and Millsaps 
are very similar schools 



and 



and this comparison 
was, at the least, 
embarrassing 
unexpllainable. 

The question must 
be raised; Who is to 
blame for the P&W's 
situation. It's not Kelly 
(Wilford) 's to be sure. 
It's not Matt (Kaye), 
Jo (Watson), Lauren 
(Goi-don) ox- Mary Kay 
(Hall). It's not Tracy 
Miller or Beau Butler, 
who make their opinions 
felt many times through 
the P&W. No, the 
fault lies with the 
average Millsaps student. 
The word "average" 
is used with careful 
thought. They are 
the students who do 
little more for the 
paper than complain 
and mock the paper 
as inferior. The fault 
lies with me for being 
apathetic enough to 
wait so long tts express 
my thoughts. We are 
to blame. 

I hear people say, 
"There is nothing of 
interest to write about." 
That comment is gar- 
bage! How do the 
students feel about 
President Harmon's 
idea that graduation 



is "his" and that we 
have no student speech 
at "his" graduation? 
How do the students 
feel about visitation 
or alchohol policies 
or the increased business 
budget. 

At a party I asked 
(former P&W editor) 
Lida Bunds about 
the addition of movie 
reviews in the P&W. 
She said that it had 
been tried but it failed 
because no one would 
write them. That is 
hard to believe because 
I see half of Millsaps 
student body at $2 
movie night. Blake 
(Smith) and Reed(Hub- 
bard) have done a 
great job with album 
reviews and I feel 
this is a good start. 
Millsaps students need 
to get off their back 
ends if they want 
their diplomas to be 
worth a dime. We 
must stop letting others 
do all the work and 
give a little ourselves. 
Let's get rid of the 
"average Millsaps" 
stigma here and now 
and the P&W is the 
first place to start.

Gallery highlights photographs 



The

contributed by Jack Agricola 
Millsaps Art Department 

The work of 22 internationally 
known artists comprises the current 
exhibition in Lewis Art Gallery. 
The exhibit highlights the breadth 
of Polaroid's 20 by 24 inch large 
ormat process, both aesthetically 
technically, by showcasing a 
group of distinguished photographers. 

The trend towards large-format 
imaging was formally acknowledged 
last year with the opening of the 
exhibition "Big Photographs by Con- 
temporary Photographers" held 
at the Museum of Modern Art in 
New York. Now, "In Grand Perspect- 
ive," at Lewis Art Gallery until 
Feb. 22, brings the current exploration 
to Jackson. The show's curator recent- 
ly wrote, "Instant feedback, the 
essential feature of the Polaroid 
process, encourages artists to experi- 
ment with a single idea at a time 
until it is fully realized. The give 
and take between photographer 
and medium inspires an artistic 
approach which is akin to the painter's. 
The Polaroid 20 by 24 inch camera 
is especially suited to photographers 
concerned with building pictures 
as an additive process, filling the 
frame as if it were a blank canvas, 
rather than using it to edit the real 



v;orld." Aside from its tremendous 
scale, subtle colors and sharp resolut- 
ion, this process provides the artist 
with that feature of all instant cam- 
eras - the ability to see their work 
in sixty seconds and then to make 
changes and adjustments immediately. 

Among the participating artists, 
several hold important teaching 
positions at major universities, while 
others are distinguished fine-art 
photographers. Chris Enos teaches 
at UCLA and Sandi Fellman is on 
the faculty at the Mason Gross School 

of Arts at Rutgers University. Barbara 
Kasten has been widely exhibited 
and has recently been the recipient 
of Fulbright Hays and Guggenheim 
fellowships. Lucas Samaras is one 
of America's more versatile artists 
and best known for his sculpture, 
constructions and mix-media projects. 
His surreal instant portraits transform 

ordinary reality with bizarre patterns 
of light and brilliant multi-colored 
washes over naked bodies. Each 
artist pursues higher creative vision 
publicly, instantly and grandly, as 
gallery visitors should observe. 

Gallery hours this semester are 
Monday, Wednesday and Friday 
from 12 to 2p.m. and Tuesday and 
Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m.

Harmon answers questions on Millsaps' growth 



contributed by Dr. George Harmon 

Where is Millsaps headed as we approach 
our centennial year? Is the College going 
to become another Vanderbilt or Tulane? 
Are we in danger of losing our character 
as a community in which individuals 
- both students and faculty - know and 
care about one another" Are we reducing 
admissions standards as a way to insure 
enrollement? These are questions I am 
frequently asked by friends of the College 
who have heard about our increased 
enrollments over the past several years. 

If you have also asked these questions, 
you may be encouraged to know that 
the College is making plans for the future 
and these plans do not call for the College 
becoming much larger than it currently 
is. First, let me emphasize that past 
growth has not come at the expense 
of quality, nor will future growth come 
at the expense of quality. Admissions 
standards have and will be maintained. 
Second, we have made a firm decision 



not to admit more freshmen next year 
or in future years, than we did this year. 
Total enrollment will be larger next 
year but it will be because of the carry 
over of the larger class this year and 
because a higher percent of students 
are stay:'ng to complete their education 
than in previous years. Our goal is to 
have a total student body of close to 
1200 full-time students, which is about 
200 or more than we currently have 
and about 200 full-time equivalent students 
composed primarily of part-time MBA's 
and Adult Degree students. 

Let me emphasize some of the positive 
aspects of our past and limited projected 
growth for the future. By increasing 
the size of the current student body 
to the current level, we have been able 
to add faculty positions in a number 
of key areas. Throughout the curriculum 
we have, for instance, created new 
positions in accounting, economics, 
geology, physics, history, mathematics, 
computer studies, and most recently 
philosophy and religion. At the same 



time, we have held the size of most 
classes below 35 and have expanded 
student services to ensure the kind of 
personal attention for which Millsaps 
is well known. 

Finally, the positive effect of growth 
has provided momentum in other tangible 
ways - fund raising, for example - which 
in turn will allow further improvement 
of facilities, services, and program. 

Let me conclude by pointing out that 
we are in the process of building a new 
dormitory (Goodman House) which will 
open in the fall of 1985, and we are making 
plans for another dormitory in 1986. 
The purpose of adding these new facilities 
is to ensure that all students desiring 
to live on campus will have the opportunity 
to do so. It does not signal unlimited 
growth, or a desire to change the character 
of the College. On the contrary, we 
want to make certain that Millsaps, 
as it prepares to enter its second century, 
will continue to do what it does best, 
namely, to provide a quality education 
within a caring environment. 



New dorm to hold 62 students 



by Tracey Miller 

The dorm spaces 
available in Goodman 
House, the new housing 
area on campus to 
be opened in the fall, 
has been divided into 
men and women's 
housing allowances, 
said Dean Stuart Good, 
Dean of Student Affairs. 

There will be spaces 
for 28 men, 28 women 
and 6 full-time MBA 
students. 

Assignments for 
all dormitory spaces 
available on campus 
are based on date 
of receipt of deposit. 
Seniority for space 
in Goodman House 
will be given to seniors 
and then juniors who 
have lived on campus 
during the previous 
school year. The spaces 
for MBA students 
will be held until May 
15, Good said, at which 
time unassigned spaces 
will revert back to 
undergraduates. 



The "Goodman House" 
brochure that will 
be distributed to the 
students states that 
the "apartment-style 
residence hall is designed 
to facilitate the trans- 
ition from traditional 
dormitory life to the 

responsibilities of 
apartment living, 
which many students 
face upon graduation." 
The brochure futher 
states that "more 
individual responsibility 
is placed on [residents]. 
Each apartment, for 
example, will be 
separately billed for 
utilities." Associate 

Dean of Student Affairs 
Nancy Moore said 
that "nothing has been 
decided" about what 
the utility charges 
will be and that 
Mississippi Power . 

and Light will charge 
the school, who will 
make assessments 
as to utility use per 
unit. Moore said also 
that the idea of monthly 



utility bills for Goodman 
residents is only one 
method that is under 
consideration. Decisions 
will be made this Friday 
about these matters, 
she said. 

Good said that dorm 
spaces are being held 
for MBA students 
because "they requested 
them." The same Good- 
man House requirements 
will be enforced on 
the graduate students. 

Dorm room distribut- 
ion on campus next 
year will include fresh- 
men and 54 upperclass 
women in Bacot, 104 
upperclass women 
in Franklin, 56 junior 
and senior women 
in Sanders and 28 
junior and senior women 

in Goodman. The men's 
spaces will include 
135 freshmen in Ezelle, 
144 upperclassmen 
in - Galloway, with 
cube A-l held for 
freshmen overflow, 
and 28 junior and senior 
men in Goodman.

Problems seen in plans for 85-86 school year 



by Tracey Miller 



tic 

Wi 



Currently there are many plans being 
made for the 1985-86 school year. Some 
of these plans include the solicitation 
of RA applicatants and the soon to be 
given invitation of room deposits for 
dorm space for next fall. There are, 
however, many problems with both of 
these tasks. 

First of all, let me state that Millsaps 
has a GOOD RA PROGRAM. The problems 
stem from those who are allowed to 
abuse this. On various occasions RA's 
have been quoted as saying, "Good RA's 
and bad RA's make the same amount 
of money." This, unfortunately, is true. 
Also, specific RA's on campus have been 
seen breaking visitation across campus 
which they are in their own dorm required 
to enforce. How responsible is an RA 
who does this? The most serious problem 
with the RA situation on campus is in 
the different degree of responsibility 
given to RA's of various dorms for the 
same amount of weekly pay. The most 
striking difference is between Franklin 
and Sanders RA's. - 

Freshmen girl RA's are required to 
be on duty one night a week and answer 
phones from 11 to 12p.m., be on duty 
every fifth weekend and be in the dorm 
from 8 to 1a.m. Friday and Saturday 
nights. On other weekends they are expected 
to be able to be reached, hold regular 
hall meetings, sponsor one dorm program 
per year and attend RA meetings every 
week. Franklin RA's are expected to 
ake "dooi signs" for their residents, 
have birthday gatherings, etc. for then- 
residents, help their residents register 



and provide rules and regulations of 
the school to the residents. These things 
are minimal responsibilities for which 
Franklin RA's are paid for 12 hours a 
week. Sanders RA's work without a resident 
director to assist them, and for the two 
RA's governing a total of 56 students, 
the job requirements include, according 
to Dean Stuart Good, being "a model 
resource person for optimum dorm efficien- 
cy." In other words, seeing that Sanders 
residents are all junior and senior women 
and the dorm runs itself (there are no 
phone workers or RA duty nights), the 
responsibility is boiled down to making 
maintenance reports. For this each Sanders 
RA is paid for 12 hours of weekly work. 
It is easy to see why everyone would 
like to be a Sanders RA, and also why 
this set up is insulting to the RA's of 
Franklin. 

One suggestion that the Office of 
Student Affairs should consider is a merit 
pay system, in which RA's would be paid 
in proportion to the duties they are requir- 
ed to perform. This could easily be adjust- 
ed, with freshmen (male and female) 
RA's being paid the most, Bacot (or the 



"new" Franklin) and Galloway receiving 
the middle salary, and Sanders the least. 
Another suggestion is to have only one 
Sanders RA at 12 hours payment a week. 
For compensation of "running the dorm" 
alone, give the RA the former resident 
director's apartment, which is currently 
unfairly allowing two students to have 
a two bedroom plus private bath apartment. 
At least with this assignment, there 
would be some justification for who 
gets to live in the apartment. I've been 
told, though, that the RA is supposed 
to live among the students, but, as stated 
before, Sanders runs itself. (Another 
example of why this is practical is that 
not every Bacot resident has an RA right 
on her wing.) 

The second problem I'd like to address 
concerns dorm room deposits. Last spring, 
incoming freshmen for the fall were 
required to pay $250 housing deposits, 
while others were paying the same $100 
as years before. Millsaps has this year 
decided that everyone will pay the same 
$250, however. My question: how fair 
is this? Dean Nancy Moore stated that 
the $250 deposit is a "commitment"

the housing "crunch'' 
and the new deposit 
amount. In the past 
deposits were not 
asked to make room 
deposits until Api-il 
1, Good said, but this 
year students are 
being encouraged 
to do so as soon as 
possible, said Good. 

The dorm deposit 
fee that- students are 
encouraged to pay 
in the spring in order 
to secure a dorm space 
for the following fall 
has been leveled at 
$250 for all students. 
In previous years the 
fee has been $100, 
with the exception 
of this year's freshmen, 
who paid a $250 deposit 
last spring. 

Nancy Moore, 
Associate Dean of 
Student Affairs, said 
that the increased 
fee was to ensure 
that upperclassmen 
who require a room 
are serious about 
wanting the room. 
"The $250 is a 

commitment to that 
room," Moore said. 
If dorm rooms are 
not committed to, 
she added, the Student 
Affairs Office can 
assign those rooms 
to other incoming 
students.

Tennis teams 
start out season 



with wins 



by David Setzer 



The Millsaps men and women tennis 
teams recently began their tennis seasons. 
Beth teams compiled winning records 
during the first two weeks of the season. 
The men, ranked twelth in a preseason 
• NCAA Divisiion III poll, won both of 
their matches, while the women tallied 
a two and one record during the same 
time period. 

The men opened their season by playing 
NGAA Division I school Jackson State 
at heme on Feb. 9. The Majors swept 
the match 9-0. In singles, number one 
seeded Rod Cook (M) defeated Alex 
Armstrong in split set 2-6,6-1,6-1. Rob

The Dog and the Coach 



by Matt Kaye 



There is nothing quite like watching 
an undermanned team with less 
talent, height, and quickness upset 
the top dog. Underdogs are what 
makes the world go round in all 
aspects of society be it business 
or sports. Everyone has a little under- 
dog spirit in them (except Dallas 
Cowboy fans who know only how 
to jump on the bandwagon and fake 
being knowledgeable). 

The key to a team being able 
to rise up to the occasion is in coach- 
ing. There are coaches who can 
take teams with absolutely nothing 
and beat sulperior teams all the 
time. Conversely, other coaches 
can take teams with better talent 
and ruin them. Most of us have not 
had to travel very far to see an 
example of this. 

Bob Boyd of Mississippi State 
could be considered a miracle worker. 
Even though the SEC is in a "down" 
year, th© Bullies have no right to 
be sitting in the conference lead. 
Boyd is an excellent example of 
a coach turning the fortunes of 
a team. Besides his obvious excellent 
basketball mind, Boyd has other 



attributes that help. 

Unlike some coaches we see, Coach 
Boyd has an open mind. He can recogn- 
ize what will work against a team 
and what won't work, and most impor- 
tantly, why. He doesn't force his 
players into rediculous situations 
and then have the nerve to blame 
them for his ineptness. Coach Boyd 
is excellent at instilling confidence 
in his players. He builds them up 
rather than tearing them down. 
He won't penalize a player for making 
a mistake by jerking them out of 
the game right away. The revolving 
door concept has never worked. 

I can't remember a single time 
that Coach Boyd tried to humilate 
a player in a game. He knows the 
fine line between coaching through 
teaching versus coaching through 
renting and raving without ever 
telling his player anything. 

Coach Boyd is said to have been 
a pretty good ballplayer. You can 
be sure that he uses his past experi- 
ences to teach his player rather 
than harping on what he used to 

be. it's gone and in the past, the 
knowledge should he taught rather 
than "I remember when I did.. .and 
you should try to emulate me."

leaves them concerning 
dorm rooms. According 
to Martha Musgrove, 
Millsaps Business Office, 
a student who does 
not pay a room deposit 
is left waiting until 

every assignment 
has been made to 
those who paid the 
deposit. This wipes 
out any choice a student 
could have as to where 
he or she would like 
to live. This also applies 
to any student - even 
those who have already 
lived on campus for 
three years. 

In what should be 
a serious re-consider- 
ation of this 
deposit-amount raise, 
Millsaps administration 
should realize that 
the majority of students 
on this campus have 
financial aid of some 
sort and a $250 room 
deposit that is to be 
paid in the spring 
does not come out 
of this financial aid. 
$250 is a cash amount 
that someone, either 
the student or their 
parents, must produce 
and do so - contrary 
to the students' college 
budgets for the spring 
semester. 

In summary, I feel 
that the college admini- 
stration should look 
at exactly how they 
are treating students 
on this campus.

UB40 - Fun but serious 



*** (out of 4 stars) 



by Reed Hubbard 



It is so amazing it is almost humorous. I'm 
talking about the recent rise in the popularity 
of reggae and reggae in recent years. Bands 
such as Men at Work, the English Beat and the 
Police have admittedly been influenced by 
Jamaica's native sound and have used it to achieve 
tremendous popularity in America and Europe. 
Also, many black groups have taken slight reggae 
influence and used it as a tool for success. It 
seems that today's proclaimed "reggae fan" has 
experienced "Jammin"' by Bob .Marley and sees 
"Lover Boy" by Billy Ocean as a serious reggae 
tune. This person has never heard of such serious 
artists as Black Uhuru or Third World and, if 
he did, would probably turn off the radio. 

In a world of untrue or disguised reggae, 
England's UB40 is an open exposure tc the world 
of true, native music. This band spent several 
'"?nrs out of work, simply begging for a job (the 

... U340 is taken from the number given to 

the unemployment form in Britain.) Although 
this band has seen little success in the United 
States, they just recently released a greatest 
hits album ("Labour of Love," 1983) which included 
their most successful cut, "Red Red Wine." This 
band has now done an Unusual thing; they have 
followed a greatest hits album with an excellent 
collection of the best bi-racial reggae available. 

Of all the cuts on the album, probably the 
best is either "D.U.B.," which is a praise of dub 
music, or "If It Happens Again," which takes 
the typical reggae swing melody and attaches 
a catchy lyric about the universal problem of 
a guy whose girl is playing games with him. robin 
Campbell's guitar is excellent and the horns 
are beautifully orchestrated to fit the sense 
and feeling that permeates the entire album. 
This album is technically correct as well as "good- 
sounding." If one desires to hear some pop oriented 
reggae, but is tired of the Jimmy Cliffs and 
Eddy Grants of the record rack, this is a strongly 
advised buy. 

Thanks to BeBop Maywood Mart for album supply.

dance class. According to Cameron, 
the class is called "Theater Move- 
ment," but she refers to it as "Dance." 

Cameron said it had been four 
years since a class like this had 
been taught, and that she .had 35 
students in two sections. They had 
planned on only one section, she 
said, but the enrollment was so 
great, they added another one. The 
classes meet on Tuesday and Thursday 
from 3:00-4:30 and from 4:30-6:00. 
Cameron said that she tried to teach 
according to the level of the class, 
and that the early class was more 
advanced, while the second one 
consisted mainly of beginners. She 
said many girls have taken dancing 
before, but the experience ranged 
from "never danced before" to "very 
good." She added that it "was fun 
to see talent." She said that in teach- 
ing, she "goes with the level of the 
class, but I push them as hard as 
I can." 

The class is striving for experience 
in theater dance, Cameron said. 
She also said that in the short amount 
of time she has, there were only 
so many skills one could teach, but 
she is trying to give them good exper- 
ience with different styles of theater 
dance. 

The classes meet on the theater 
stage in the Christian Center auditor- 
ium, which Cameron said was difficult, 
as they were competing with set 
construction for the upcoming play'. 
She said that the students have 
learned how to work around these 
obstacles, but it was hard, as it 
cuts down the space for the class.

classroom with a wooden floor, 
which would improve class conditions. 

The classes usually begin with 
basic warm-up techniques, which 
are basically modern jazz and ballet — 
type warm ups, Cameron said. In 
the classes, she teaches segments 
of "show" material. She said they 
just finished a western segment 
from "Best Little Whorehouse in 
Texas," and they are now working 
on a jazz segment from 
"Victor-Victoria." Cameron said 
that since the class was such a 
work-out, that many of the students 
wanted the class to be a P.E. credit 
rather than a theater credit, as 

it is now. 

Cameron is leaving at the end 
of March to go. back to Salt Lake 
City, Utah. Ff-or this reason, there 
are an accelerated number of class 
hours so that there will be enough 
hours for full credit. Cameron said 
she was leaving in March because 
she had other committments in 
Salt Lake City, including a U.S.O. 
Tour. She also choreographed a 
U.S.O. Tour last year, along with 
choreographing "Annie" for a Salt 
Lake City company. Cameron is 
a graduate of Brigham Young Univer- 
sity in Theater and Dance, and says 
that although eventually she wants 
a university position, she . has done 
well free-lancing, and enjoys it. 
During her stay in Jackson, Cameron 
is choreographing for the Troubadours, 
doing some private tutoring, teaching 
a five-week workshop for the 
Associated Performing Arts Complex 
(APAC) at Murrah High School (using 
their facilities to teach drama, 

dance and theater to 4-12 graders), 
and is filling in at the campus 
bookstore.

FREIS, from p. 1 

h om the beginning 
of the course. I have 
encountered few teach- 
ers in my college experi- 
ence who were willing 
to go to this length 
to help their students." 
Another student 
continued, "Not only 
is she an outstanding 
classroom lecturer 
or discussion leader, 
she is a trusted friend 
of many students and 
one active in bring- 
ing exciting, stimulating 
was because of the 
course. It was because 
of the teacher's ability 
to make learning fun, 
interesting, exciting, 
broadening, imaginative 
and informative. If 
I had to take the course 
over and receive the 
same grade, I would. 
I have never been 
so impressed by a 
teacher." 

Another student 
said "An important 
aspect of her effictive- 
ness as a teacher is 
her sensitivity to her 
students as well as 
her willingness to 
go out of her way 
to be of help to them. 
She expects a great 
deal from her students 
but she is willing to 
give extra time and 
effort to help them 
to learn. If she is not 
communicating with 
optimal effectiveness, 

she knows it and is 
relentless in pursuing 
ways to make her 
presentations more 
effective. On one 
occasion when one 
of her classes was 
having some difficulty 
with the material 
she was presenting, 
after numerous one-on — 
one conferences with 
individual members 
of the class, she 
assembled the whole 
class and spent an 
entire Friday afternoon 



going over the material 



events 



tc 



cultural 
campus." 

"She is demanding 
but extremely fair. 
Her enthusiasm for 
her field and course 
material inspires bright 
discussions and invites 
each student to reeval- 
uate beliefs and modes 
of thought; one often 
leaves the classroom 
asking oneself new 
questions and enthusias- 
tically discovering 
the classical frame 
of mind," said another 

student. That student 
continued, "You might 
think that classics 
being the utterly useless 
subject that it is, 
would attract students 

that are not quite 
'together' or somehow 
'off balance,' and it 
does. Some of these 
people you might think 
ae hopeless, but she 
takes a very personal 
interest in her students. 

She will not let them 
through her class without 
making sure they under- 
stand classics in the 
way most important 
to them. ..She makes 
teaching relevant 
and useful. She makes 
the college experience 

comprehensible." 

Freis recieved her 
B.A. (cum laude) in 
Classics from Brooklyn 
College, City University 
of New York, and 
her M.A. from the 
University of California 
at Berkeley. Freis 

also received her Ph.D. 
from the University 
of California at Berke- 
ley. Freis has been 
at Millsaps since 1975,

a teacher of Greek,

The need for 
Blacks at Millsaps 



by John Pigott 



We are racist, you and I, and to deny 
that is to lie to ourselves. Racism is 
part of the standard equipment with 
which we are unwittingly endowed from 
growing up in an imperfect society, and 
more so from growing up in the South. 
Unchecked, we will naturally associate 
and alienate along racial lines. 

Can a Millsaps education prepare one 
forihe "real world," with minimal exposure 
to blacks and their culture? How different 

letters 



our society and culture would be without 
the influence of this race, especially 
in Mississippi, and yet we spend a disproport- 
ionate amount of time studying the Greeks. 
There is at Millsaps a vast need for under- 
standing racial issues, and the only way 
is through increased contact with black 
students and faculty. 

Present black student population does 
a great deal in breaking down stereotypes, 
but there are simply not enough to do 
the job. The majority of contact Millsaps 
students have with the black culture 
is through service projects of extracurricular 
organizations. A formidable byproduct 
of these excursions into Midtown, one 
of the poorest neighborhoods in Mississippi, 
is the reinforcement of the stereotype 
of blacks as poor, uneducated, and unable 
to fend for themselves. These services 
do a great amount of good for all involved, 
but when they are the only exposure 
to the black culture they reinforce 
paternalistic stereotypes. 

There are many reasons for the lack 
of black students at Millsaps. Not the 
least of these is the lack of black faculty. 
One would think that from the popularity 
and positive student feedback from our 
only black professor, Dr. Jeanne Forsythe, 
that the administration would catch 



on and actively recruit more black professors. 
Additional black faculty would increase 
exposure to the culture and provide role 
nodels for black students. 

Another barrier to our increasing minority 
enrollment is the abundance of minority 
scholarships from schools with a more 
national reputation. Millsaps can simply 
not compete with top universities in 
the scholarship market, where schools 
"bid" for the best students, especially 
minorities. 

Last and most important is the lack 
of active recruitment of black students. 
With the rising black middle class, there 
are plenty of academically qualified 
black students who are not forced to 
depend on scholarships and grants for 
a college education. 

There is a need for blacks at Millsaps. 
Without interactive experience how 
can we learn from the mistakes of previous 
generations, and function in a world 
where everyone is not a white anglo-saxon 
protestant?

PRESCHOOL PROGRAM 
SALUTED 

Dear Purple and 
White, 

As an adult student 
at Millsaps in my final 



year in Geology, I 
would like to express 
my appreciation to 
the Millsaps Preschool 
Program and the Millsaps 
Children's Center 
which it replaced. 



This service is a prime 
reason I was able to 
return to college and 
pursue a degree. As 
the mother of three 
small children I can 
tell you that without 





-staff 



the excellent attentive 
childcare offered 
by these programs 
I would never have 
gotten through these 
last three years. 

I am sure the students 
and faculty who have 
children there can 
tell you of the attentive 
care. The new facilities 
are excellent and 
Maud DeLes Lancaster 
is doing an admirable 
job running the center. 
While the cancellation 
of the old program 
and shake up of 
personnel caused much 
confusion and several 
weeks of wondering 
what to do with my 
children, the new 
arrangements have 
worked out beautifully. 

Ann Herring deserves 
much praise for her 
role in establishing 
the initial Millsaps 
program. She is a 
wonderful educator 
and has proven her 
love of the children. 

I want to particularly 
express my appreciation 
to Edna Jones who 
keeps the infants and 



toddlers. Edna is 
something very special 
in the childcare 
profession and is every 
mother's dream. Edna 
adopts these babies 
and comes as close 
to being a mother 
to the children as 
you can get. 

I would also like 
to thank all of the 
students who put in 
their work-study at 
the center, and the 
ones who just stop 
by because they like 
children. Children 
are special creatures 
and the kindness shown 
by everyone who comes 
into contact with 
our children are 

reflected in ways 
the parents see daily. 

Millsaps is to be 
commended for providing 
a valued service to 
those of us who want 
an education along 
with our children. 
This letter is my attempt 
to bring a little attention 
and praise to an essential 
progressive program.

said. 

Top group so far is Kappa Sigma II with $4682 
pledged and 140 pledges. 

There have been 1645 positive calls (pledges 
and your decisions), said Bingham, and the camp- 
aign is 137 pledges and $3387 ahead of last year 
at the same time in the STC. 

"We are really excited with our success so. 
far," said Bingham. "The volunteers have been 
so enthusiastic and it shows in our results." 

There are seven nights left before "Dollar 
Night," the last night of calling when top callers 
(individuals who received $500 or more in pledges) 
come back to call people who have belonged 
to a gift club during the past five years, said 
Bingham. 

Groups remaining are Kappa Delta II, Chi Omega 
II, Pi Kappa Alpha II, Black Student Association, 
Senate, Kappa Alpha II and Sigma Lambda/Omicron 
Delta Kappa. 

"The competition isn't over yet. In fact, I think 
we could have a $5000 night - at least we hope 
so," said Floy Holloman, Director of Annual 
Giving.

Cliffe comes to Millsaps 



by Andrew Libby 



For the past two weeks, signs 
have been popping up across the 
campus declaring in bold letters 
that "CLIFFE IS COMING!" 

Cliffe Knectle (pronounced 

kuh-neck-tlee) is an open-air guest 
speaker being brought to Millsaps 
Campus next Monday and Tuesday, 
March 4 and 5, to raise the level 
of spiritual awareness on the campus. 
Cliffe is an ordained minister who 
graduated from Gordon Con well 
Seminary in Boston. For the past 
four years he has been made available 
to speak on college and university 
campuses across the country through 
Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, 
an interdenominational collegiate 
ministry with hundreds of chapters 
in the United States and Canada. 
The ministry's campus affiliate, 
Millsaps Christian Fellowship thought 
having Cliffe speak would be an 
interesting addition to the recent 
spiritual growth the campus is 
experiencing. 

"Most people come to college 
asking questions," said chapter co- 
ordinator Steve Eyre, "Questions 
about who they are and what does 
it mean to be a real person. People 
are looking for something greater 
than themselves to get involved 
with but often fail to pursue the 



spiritual life as well as the physical." 

Cliffe has come to talk about 
spiritual things with students, 
deep-rooted questions, objections 
people may have toward Christianity 
as a way of life in a modern age, 
students conceptions of God as well 
as asking students some questions 
of his own. 

Cliffe wants students to step 
back and take a good look at them- 
selves- examine their priorities 
in life, question their beliefs and 
evaluate their lifestyles in light 
of Christ's message of serving others 
in self-sacricing love. 

Cliffe invites both seekers and 
skeptics to come hear him speak. 
Though Cliffe may prepare for hours 
before he speaks, his talks last only 
about ten minutes; convienent for 
the passer-by or an interested student 
nn his or her way to class. 

Most of the action begins after 
Cliffe says "That's all I had to say." 
That's when he opens up for questions, 
agreement and disagreement. "It's 
sc"t of like a 'Phil Donahue' spiritual 
discussion on your campus," remarked 
one student, "Always lively, never 
a dull moment." 

During the question and answer 
time, Cliffe hopes for "an intelligent 
heckler," someone who really feels 
strongly about his own beliefs and 
will generate a little controversy.

The Knightmare continues 



by Matt Kaye 



I have to admit 
on the front end that 
I like Bobby Knight. 
I love his fiery 
competitiveness, the 
strict discipline and 
his leadership qualities. 
They are second to 
none. But one can 
only wonder how long 
his antics can continue 
without some sort 
of penalty. 

Remember the Puerto 
Rico incident? I think 
Knight was harassed, 
but he didn't do anything 
to help his situation. 
His benching of four 
starters this year 
drew the ire of everyone 
associated with IU 
basketball. The booting 
of Mike Giomi didn't 
bring in any fans either. 
And now, the throwing 
of the chair without 
a real reason to even 
draw a simple technical 
foul. Numerous other 
incidents have marred 
Coach Knight's career 
but have been overlook- 
ed. Why?-because 
he has won. The only 
reason he has come 
under fire this year 
is because che victories 
aren't coming. 

Is Knight burned 
out from the hard 



knocks of 
and the 
experience? 
any goals 



the past 
Olympics 
Are there 
left for 



him to conquer? He 
may be trying to ignite 
himself as well as 
the team. 

Another source 
of the problem may 
lie within the Big 
Ten. He has openly 
accused many of the 
teams of cheating. 
Also, Knight has to 
be frustrated with 
this season. I know 
he is frustrated by 
losing to hapless teams 
(which is all the Big 
Ten is made up of). 

Nothing irks Knight 
more than losing to 
an inferior team. 

If the - Hoosiers go 
to the NCAA and 
make an impact, all 
will be forgotten. 
If not, more questions 
may be arise and the 
Knight the lights burned 
out in Bloomington 
may be the script. 

Thought for the 
week: St. John's will 
turn Georgetown away 
for the second time 
this year.

Millsaps joins ROTC program 



by Lauren Gordon 



Millsaps will be visited this week 
by an R.O.T.C. officer from Jackson 
State University for the purpose 
of establishing such a unit on our 
campus, according to Dean Robert 
King. 

According to King, who negotiated 
the arrangement with Jackson State, 
"Millsaps has never had an R.O.T.C. 
unit on campus, but we are hoping 
this will benefit students through 
scholarship opportunities." R.O.T.C. 
offers students who complete their 
program the possibility of full scholar- 



ships for college. 

Under the formal arrangement 
with Jackson State, Millsaps students 
will be enrolled at Jackson State 
for the R.O.T.C. program but grades 
for the courses will be transferred 
to the students' Millsaps transcripts. 
The cost for being in the R.O.T.C. 
program will not be any greater 
because the program is at Jackson 
State, said King. 

Students interested in the R.O.T.C. 
program and scholarships should 
contact the R.O.T.C. officer on 
campus or Dean King for more infor- 
mation.

Phil Collins: No Jacket Required 

While No Jacket Required lacks the killer 
lyrics of Hello, I Must Be Going on Face Value 

it is crammed full of miraculous vocals and dyna- 
mite instrumental. Another big plus for this 
album in its difference in style from Phil's last 
two releases. An excellent artist who wants 
to maintain that status must be able to change 
styles, ever-so-slightly in order to contain his 
clientele. He obviously knows exactly how much 
to change in order to keep the bucks rolling in. 
The style changed from a rejected, divorced, 
and lonely Phil Collins to a happy and carefree 
man of the world is obvious and obviously 
beneficial. 

While "One More Night" was the first single 
released from the album, I don't think it will 
be the best one of this work. "I Don't Wanna 
Know" and "Doesn't Anybody Stay Together Any- 
more" also have great potential. This album 
is a definite must for your collection.

The Alan Parsons Project: Vulture Culture 

Yes, there is an Alan Parsons, but he doesn't 
sing lead vocals or play lead guitar. No, he's 
in a more instrumental role, so to speak. He 
produces and engineers all of their albums and 
productions. His latest production Vulture Culture 
is a long-awaited disappointment. When I reached 
to pick the album off the shelf at Be-Bop I was 
both excited to get some new Alan Parsons and 
prematurely disappointed. I was looking forward 
to being disappointed, and as a matter of fact, 
I was. 

Vocals are definitely the strong-hold of this 
group; instrumentation and lyrics run a close 
second. While being unique when compared to 
other current works, Alan Parsons produces too 
similar works too close together chronologically. 
He should either change styles or wait longer 
before releasing rerecorded chord progressions; 
I prefer the former. If you liked any earlier Alan 
Parsons release, you'll like this one, but overall 
Vulture Culture is for the birds.

Book on Millsaps to be written 



Jackson - According to a recent 
announcement by Dr. George M. 
Harmon, president of Millsaps College, 
a definitive biography of Major 
Reuben Webster Millsaps, noted 
Mississippi businessman and benefactor 
and the founder for whom the college 
is named, is now being written. 
Major Millsaps, who lived from 1833 
to 1916, is recognized as one of the 
institution's founders, along with 
Bishop Charles Betts Galloway and 
Dr. William Belton Murrah. 

The descendants of Major Millsaps 
through the W.M. Buie family and 
the children of the late Mr. and 
Mrs. James S. Love Jr., Jo Love 
Little and James S. Love III of Gulf- 
port, and Mrs. Howard McMillan 
of Jackson, are sponsoring the re- 
search and writing of this new book. 
It will be dedicated to their late 
mother, Mrs. James S. Love, Jr., 
the former Jo Ellis Buie. 

Millsaps College will handle the 
book's marketing and distribution, 
and proceeds from its sales will 
be used to implement a permanent 
scholarship. Publication of the book 
is scheduled for early 1986. 

"Millsaps is delighted that this 
project is underway," Dr. Harmon 
stated. "It will be a most appropriate 
prelude to the college's Centennial 
Celebration coming up in 1990. We 
greatly appreciate what the Love 
family is doing in preserving the 
extraordinary life of this noted 
benefactor of Millsaps College." 



Carroll Brinson has been 
commissioned to research and write 
the biography. Brinson, a native 
of Monticello who has lived in Jackson 
since 1935 with the exception of 
World War II years, has written 
several corporate and family histories 
in recent years. He is perhaps best 
known for Jackson: A Special Kind 
of Place, a 400-page history of 
Mississippi's capital city, first 
published in 1978 and reprinted in 
1980. 

Jo Love Little observed that telling 
the story of Major Millsaps' life 
has been considered by the family 
for some time. 

"We are all happy and excited 
that the biography will become 
a reality, hopefully in 1986," she 
stated. "We believe it will be a book 
that many people .who are a part 
of the Millsaps College family - 
students, faculty, alumni and 
administrative staff - will want 
to own, and we also are confident 
that it will appeal to others who 
are not directly connected with 
the College." 

Millsaps College and the Love 
family ask that those who might | 
have letters, clippings, photographs, 
handed-down stories and other memor- 
abilia about Major Millsaps will 
share this material with the college. 
Send it to Archives, Millsaps College, 
Jackson, MS 39210. Material will 
be copied and returned to the original 
owners when requested.

Panicky colleges devalue 
liberal arts degrees 



College Press Service 



Washington, D.C. - College coursework 
is often full of "fads and fashions," 
a iid the growing number of non — 
e .sential courses students must 
take is wrecking the value of their 
college degree, say the authors 
of a tl«ree-year study released last 
v eek. 

The report, produced by an 18-mfcir- 
ber task force established by th? 
Association of American Colleges 
(AAC), warns colleges' tinkering 
with traditional liberal arts curricula 
is diluting the worth of a liberal 
arts college education. 

"Curricula are confused, fuzzy 
and drifting," says panel member 
Art lur Levine, president of Bradlorc. 
Coliege of Massachusetts. 

Buffeted by dwindling financial 
resources and a shrinking pool of 
potential students, colleges have 
"put their curriculums up for auction 

and sold cut to the highest bidder," 
Levine says. 



The report blames "non-essential" 
courses for mucking up tradition- 
al liberal education. 

It says remedial programs for 
students who are unprepared for 
college and technical classes 
such as secretarial and police science 
courses — typically obstruct, not 
advance, a college education. 

But administrators offer the courses 
with an attitude of "almost anything 
goes," the report charges. 

"Fads and fashions, tne demands 
of popularity and success, renter 
where wisdom and expei'ience should 
prevail." 

Panel members also blane th^ 
fogging of college curricula on 
professors who place a higher premium 
on research or their own advancement 
than on teaching. 

The report urges colleges to 
restructure their curricula to create 
practical liberal arts programs that 
combine core humanities subjects 
with career skills.

Speakers provide 
learning opportunity 

by Jim Boswell 

There are a lot of speakers who visit 
colleges around the country preaching 
about the Christian faith and quoting 
passages from a Bible in hand. However, 
speakers like Cliffe Knectle, who defend 
the Christian God almost entirely on 
rational grounds, are rare. Whether or 
not you agree with the views presented 
by Cliffe in yesterday's forum, it is hard 
to deny the intensity of his approach 
and the solid reasoning underlying many 
of his arguments. Tne validity of his 
approach can be nothing but a mark 
in his favor, regardless of how you judge 

letters 



his conclusions. The Millsaps Christian 
Fellowship and the Student Body Associa- 
tion deserve a great deal of credit for 

_ bringing this worthwhile program to 

"campus. 

oeveral significant questions were 
raised in the portion of the forum I attend- 
ed. Is conscience an intrinsic God-given 
aspect of the human mind from the moment 
of birth or is it present in humans aside 
from any divine influence? On what 
basis do we or can we know the nature 
of God? Is there one God, or many? Tara 
McPherson raised one of the most heatedly- 
discussed issues: has man short-sightedly 
reduced whatever god-like force that 
exists into an anthropomorphic figure 
that we can understand? Obviously these 
issues can never be resolved, but sorting 
out our thoughts on them is always worth- 
while. The Cliffe Knectle forum gave 
us a good context in which we can do 
this. 

My main concern about the discussion 
that took place was that it tended at 
times to deviate from consideration 
of the issues into personal attack. I noticed 
this especially when Cliffe argued that 
Tara's beliefs lacked the foundation 
and consistency of other skeptics whose 
arguments he had read. At this point 



the discussion regressed into what was 
mainly quibbling and misunderstanding. 
This was frustrating for me and for others. 

In mentioning this, however, I do not 
in any way intend to undermine the praise 
this event deserves. Opportunities such 
as this, chances to participate in worth- 
while discussions liketheWu Li seminars 
.ve saw last year and the Friday Forum 
discussions each week are among the 
most important learning experiences 
in college. Classroom lectures and discussions 
are important, but education is a life-long 
nrocess. The students who participate 
:n events like the Cliffe Knectle forum 
;ire the type of people who learn for 

the sake of learning itself. If we have 
this type of attitude, we will continue 
to educate ourselves throughout life. 
This is my hope for myself and for you, 
because the four years at Millsaps will 
be over quickly, but if we continue in 
life to question and debate, we will have 
spent our time here wisely.

PROFS SUPPORT STRIKE ROTC CLARIFICATION 



Deai- Editor: 

The American Associa- 
tion of University 
Professors stands 
for quality in education. 
The remuneration 
of educators both 
to foster and to reward 
high performances 
is fundamental to 
the support for quality 
in education. 

The Millsaps College 
chapter of AAUP, 
acting out of support 
for our fellow educators, 
the public school teach- 
ers of Mississippi, 
calls on the legislators 
and the governor of 
Mississippi speedily 
to enact legislation 
to raise significantly 
the salaries of the 
teachers of Mississippi. . 
We recognize the 
demands of our fellow 
teachers as fair and 
just and support their 
call for an appropriate 
raise. 

Sincerely yours, 
Frances Coker 



Editor: 

I am writing to correct 
an inaccuracy in a 
recent article 'mtitled 
"Millsaps Joins ROTC 
Program." The article 
states that "Millsaps 
will be visited this 
week by an R.O.T.C. 
officer from Jackson 
State University for 
the purpose of establish- 
ing such a unit on 
campus." It implies 
that the College is 
departing from previous 
practice by establishing 
an R.O.T.C. unit on 
campus. But that is 
not the case. 

There will bo no 
R.O.T.C. unit at Millsaps 
next year, nor any 
departure from past 
practice in relation 
to R.O.T.C. As recently 
as 1?79, two Millsaps 
students took military 
training at Jackson 
State while concurrently 
pursuing a degree 
at Millsaps. On 

commencement day 



they received not 
only their Millsaps 
degrees, but their 
commissions as Second 
Lieutenants in the 
U.S. Army. Until two 
years ago it was possible 
to pursue such a joint 
course of study by 
informal agreement 
between our two 
institutions. Army 
regulations now require 
a formal agreement. 
In all other respects, 
however, the situation 
is unchanged. 

Students wishing 
to enroll in the R.O.T.C. 
program must meet 
all Millsaps requirements 
in addition to the 
requirements of R.O.- 
T.C. Grades received 
in the program will 
be recorded on the 
student's transcript 
as work taken at Jackson 
State as a part of 
the R.O.T.C. program, 
but will not be averaged 
in with Millsaps grades 
6r counted towards 
the total hours required 
for graduation. Instruct- 



ors in the program 
will not be considered 
members of the regular 
Millsaps faculty or 
eligible for any of 
the rights and privileges 
of Millsaps faculty. 
All R.O.T.C. instruction, 
including drill sessions, 
will take place 

exclusively at Jackson 
State, and Millsaps 
will assume no 

responsibility for 
transportation between 
the two campuses. 
It is now and will con- 
tinue to be a Jackson 
State program in which 
our students are permit- 
ted to participate. 

What are the potential 
benefits? A student 
who chooses to partici- 
pate in R.O.T.C. will 
be eligible after the 
first year for a full 
scholarship at Millsaps. 
If an additional semester 
is necessary beyond 
the four years ordinarily 
required tJ . complete 
a Millsaps degree, 
because of the additional 
time required for 



the military training, 
the Army will pay 
the costs of that semes- 
ter as well. For a 
person interested 
in a possible career 
in the Army, it is 
a way to pursue a 
Millsaps education 
at no expense. 

Beyond the benefits 
to the student, it could 
be argued that there 
are benefits to society. 
If one grants the necess- 
ity of a standing army, 
I would contend that 
it is better to have 
the leadership in that 
army liberally educated 
than simply trained 
in tne arts of warfare. 
But that is a matter 
about which persons 
may differ. The import- 
ant point, as regards 
the immediate issue, 
is that the practice 
at Millsaps in respect 
to R.O.T.C. has not 
changed, only the 
formal authorization 
for it.

Zoo offers fun for all ages 




by Lauren Gordon 



age 
Chi 



king for a way to spend these 
warm spring days in Jackson? Try 
a trip to the Jackson zoo! The Jackson 
zoo is open seven days a week from 
9 a.m. until 5 p.m., and admission 
is only $1.50 for adults. If you think 
zoos are only for children, think 
again. The Jackson zoo offers many 
opportunities for "children" of all 
ages, according to chief zoologist 
Charles Cockrell. 

Aside from the regular attraction 
the zoo, the animals, special 
events are held throughout the year, 
sa 4 d Cockrell. The first Sunday in 
May is the annual Zoo Day when 
the zoo attempts to raise money 
to buy an unusual animal that the 
regular budget bould not afford. 
According to Cockrell, arts and 
crafts are displayed and various 
booths are set up by the animals' 
keepers. All proceeds from Zoo 
Day go to buy a particular animal 
previously chosen by the zoo. Past 
Zco Days have provided the zoo 
with such animals as orangutaus, 
cheetans, and rare breeds of tortoises. 
"We try to have special events 
the zoo to coincide with holidays." 
said Cockrell. In keeping with this, 
tl e zoo has "Fright Night" around 
Halloween and "Christmas at the 
Zoo" during the Christmas season. 
For the Christmas festivities the 
zoo is decorated with festive lights, 
live manger scenes are constructed, 
and the zoo stays open later at night. 

"Another interesting aspect of 
the zoo is our volunteer programs." 
said Cockrell. Called the Docents 
program, the zoo enlists groups 
of volunteers and trains them in 
handling various animals. The volun- 
teers then take animals to show 
at schools in the Jackson area, or 



To the. UUZ&aph Community, 



they may conduct group tours through 
the zoo, Cockrell explained. 

Many of the zoo's special events 
are funded by the Friends of the 
Zoo, Cockrell said. Anyone can 
join Friends of the Zoo and with 
a donation can get into the zoo 
free as often as he or see wants. 
The Friends of the Zoo organization 
is very large and is governed by 
a board of directors headed primarily 
by prominent Jackson citizens 
interested in keeping the zoo going, 
Cockrell said. "The directors plan 
fund-raising projects for the zoo, 
like the Safari Run held last Saturday," 
Cockrell stated, "and these funds 
supplement the money we get from 
the city." 

The zoo is presently undergoing 
a tremendous expansion for which 
a band issue passed. "With our expan- 
sion the zoo will be three times 
its present size as we are moving 
away from the cage concept and 
beginning to keep the animals in 
more open areas," said Cockrell. 
The plan will be instituted in seperate 
phases with the African phase to 
be completed in the fall of 1985. 
The completion of this phase will 
mean that a large African "forest" 
will " house the chimps, giraffes, 
rhinos, antelopes, etc. that were 
previously in seperate cages. The 
African phase will be followeed 
by Soutu America, Australia, and 
others, with the project to continue 
for years. "This is a big accomplish- 
ment for the Jackson zoo," said 
Cockrell, "and will really make 
our zoo more exciting." 

So when the weather is warm 
and you have time to spare, treat 
yourself to an afternoon at the zoo 
and find out what you've been missing!

Cliffe 



Knectle 



Cliffe Knectle, the speaker jointly 
sponsored by Millsaps CI ris'ian Fellowship 
and the Student Body Association, 
spoke yesterday in the Bowl from 11:30 
to 1:00 and had an informal discussion 
in the grill from 5:00 to 6:30. He will 
be in the Bowl again today from 11:00 
to 12:30 and will speak ft tht: Phi Mu 
House at 8:30 tonight. Several students 
shared their impressions of Cliffe: 

"I made the comment that the speaker 
was a 'jerk' because 1 simply could not 
take anymore cf his rudeness. His arrogant 
style of dodging students' statements 
and questions I found to be a complete 
turn off. Even his repudiation of my, 
as rude, statement was a display of his 
munipulating oral tactics. I have no grounds 
to pass judgement on his religion. His 
knowledge of religious documents far 
exceeds my own education of such matter. 
It was only his personality that I found 
repulsive. 

I believe religion is a personal discipline. 
Whatever form this religion takes is 
between the worshipper and his God. 
Evangelical conversion of the sinful 
masses I believe is an appeal to the emot- 
ions and not to reason. Cliffe't reason 
is based on ancient religious documents. 
He blindly trusts their authenticity as 
being "the Word of God." Who am I to 
say they're not. 

I think that having such a speaker 
is a fantastic idea. Any chance to expand 
one's knowledge of humcn nature should 
be explored. This speaker gives an individ- 
ual a prime opportunity to examine one's 
religious beliefs. 
- Arch Bullard 



questions that were brought up. 1 think 
he came more to profess a dogma than 
to entertain opposing beliefs." 
- Tara McPherson 



"I was very impressed by the way Cliffe 
bandied some of the really sticky questions. 
He seemed to really strive for honesty 
and thoughtfulness. Unfortunately, the 
type of speaking format used doesn't 
permit him to project the full depth 
of his warmth, sensitivity and spiritual 
earnestness. But I think Cliffe would 
agree that the only really important 
thing is that the integrity of the message 
(the Gospel of Christ) hits home for 
people." 
- David Seid 



"I profess to be a practicing Christian, 
however the traditional arguments Cliffe 
used, I disagree with. He didn't give 
fresh arguments and tended to talk in 
circles, lie was unwilling to talk from 
a philosophical standpoint, and seemed 
to 'systemize God' - seeming to say 'You 
either believe in my God or you don't 
beueve in a God.' It is a good idea to 
he. r e speakers like that in the Bowl, 
to have your beliefs challenged and to 
stimulate ideas. He just used the intimidat- 
ion approach- zeroing in on you in front 
of a crowd- and I disagree with that 
approach." 
-CeCe Todd

"My first response was how many people 
actually listened to Cliffe! He is an intelligent, 
experienced speaker and people seemed 
to respond to this man. I got to meet 
Cliffe before he spoke and found him 
to be concerned, caring and sincere. 
Obviously, 100 percent of the people 
are not going to adore his mode of presentation, 
but I hope we can all listen to the content 
of his presentation and really examine 
the heart of the issue by personally questioning 
and pursuing answers to the questions 
brought up.

fl Pitcher 



"I met three groups of people at Millsaps. 
The first, tremendously thoughtful, honest, 
sincere followers of Jesus Christ. Secondly, 
very thoughtful, sensitive people searching 
to know God. Thirdly, there's a group 
I would describe as shallow cynics who 
find it easy to tear another's belief down, 
but hard to articulate their own belief. 

I appreciated the response I received 
on Monday, and it is a privilege to be 
at Millsaps."

Majors split doubleheader 



by Barton Thrasher 



In the first game of a baseball 
doubleheader with Wheaton College 
yesterday at Millsaps, the Majors 
were beaten by the score of 6-0. 
The visiting Lions jumped out to 
an early lead in the first inning 
with a grand slam home run. It proved 
to be enough though for the win 
as the Majors only collected three 
hits in the loss. Mitch Mitchell (1-1) 
pitched well, giving up only five 
hits. The Lions scored their other 
runs on a two-run homer. 

The second game proved to be 
much better as far as the Majors 
were concerned, as they won 3-2. 
Junior Kevin Martin (0-0) started 
on the mound for the Majors and 
pitched four innings. The Lions scored 
two runs in the third inning, neither 



of which were earned runs. Robbie 
Manning (2-0) took over the pitching 
duties in the fifth inning and shut 
down the visitors' hitting. The Majors 
trailed 2-0 going into the bottom 
of the seventh. They rallied with 
John Roberts getting a hit, Scott 
Cloud getting a walk, and Nick Ander- 
son getting on base by an error. 
With the bases loaded, senior Elton 
Burris walked, getting an RBI for 
his effort. Then with the score 2-1, 
Jim Page hit a single to : ight field 
scoring Cloud and Ardeison. The 
hit proved to be the game-winning 
RBI's for Page, the hard-hitting 
third baseman. 

The baseball team returns to action 
Friday at 1:00 with a double-header 
against Washington Univer ity. The 
split with Wheaton pushed tl e Majors' 
record to 3-2.

Scripps College in 
Claremont, California

will begin following

"Institutions are

movie review 



Breakfast Club deserves attention 



by Martha V. Boheimer 



Some peoole are describing The 
Breakfast Club as The Big Chill 

of our generation. The plot centers 
on what happens when five high 
school students spend an entire 
Saturday locked up together in detent- 
ion hall. All the stereotypes are 
present - the jock, the brain, the 
prom queen, the loser and the basket- 
case. Stereotypes, they are. But 
fortunately they aren't exaggerated 
to the point that they lose then- 
credibility. 

The Breakfast Club does share 
several of the qualities that made 
The Big Chill so praiseworthy. The 



real fascination lies in the relation- 
ships that develop as the cnaracters 
unVeil their real insecurities and 
the pain behind the masks. The movie 
realistically portrays the pressures 
of growing up in the SO's as well 
as how they're intensified by the 
alienation from parents that seems 
to tie all of them together. 

A warning. Be prepared to recognize 
yourself - I dare say some moments 
may hit home. 

Like The Big Chill, The Breakfast 
Club is carried by a balanced cast 
and strong ensemble acting that 
make it worthy of attention. 

The Breakfast Club is showing 
at Meadowbrook Cinema 6. 
P.S. Tonight is bargain night.

GEORGE THOROGOOD & THE DESTROYERS 

- MAVERICK *** 

For some time now, critics and fans alike have 
equivocated George Thorogood with a good time, 
get down, hometown sound which breaks all the 
barriers. Past releases such as "Move it on Over" 
and "Bad to the Bone" have given Thorogood 
this reputation, and he pnparp-ntly intends to 
keep it with his latest release . Maverick. 

If any certain characteristic aeimes Thorogood, 
it must be his unmistakable guitar slide style 
which serves only to enhance his backwoods 
sound and simple, easy-to-grasp lyrics. These 
are all most eavident on "Gear Jammer" the 
first single from the album and, most likely, 
it's surest hit. Upon hearing this cut, one can 
easily tell that Thorogood is up to his old tricks, 
and is pursuing them with a passion. Two unoriginal 
cuts, Johnny Otis' "Willie and the Hand Jive" 
and Chuck Berry's classis "Memphis, Tennessee," 
are covered in a manner that would make the 
origii.al writers proud. There is a fiery intensity 
imbedded in "(Let's) Go, Go, Go" (another Chuck 
Berry composition) which makes the listener 
sit up and take full notice. Thorogood also takes 
a country/ western, almost humorous approach 
to the standards, "What a Price" and "Maverick" 
(the title cut). 

What Thorogood has done is very typical of 
his previous attempts; he has catalogued a signif- 
icant of truly American music, while acding 
a few inputs of his own. The result is an album 
which is certain to appeal to many people, includ- 
ing blues, country, pop, and rock fans all alike. 
It is highly recommended for a good time. 

This week, and hopefully in weeks following, 
this column will include several "capsule" review; 
of recent releases by Andy Boone. These are 
meant to help out the potential record buyer 
to grasp what he may be buying. 

Bongos: Beat Hotel (RCA) - From dreamy 
pep to spacey rock, these guys make the Romantics 
look like a bunch of geriatrics. Polished songs 
with great hooks, lots of percussion and fuzzy 
guitars. 

Commodores: Nightshift (Motown) - They've 
been looking for a comeback since Lionel Ritchie 
went solo, and this could well be it. The title 
cut is a warm tribute to Marvin Gaye and Jackie 
Wilson, ar.d it's smoked it's way into the top 
2 jrty. 

Elliott Easton: Change No Change (Elektra/- 
Asylum) - First solo LP from the talented lead 
guitarist for the Cars contains lots of electropop, 
neat little songs, and influences ranging from 
the Beatles to George Clinton. 

John Hiatt: Warming Up To The Ice Age (Geffe .) 

- Song writing and vocals are not unlike Elvis 
Costello's (made evident by a duet on the end 
of side one), but there's a gutsier R&B feeling 
here. This man has been ignored far too long. 

Run-D.M.C: King of Rock (Profile) - Snappy 
rapping on top of scorching heavy-metal-f un^ 

guitar. Great social commentary/party music 
(sic).

STC exceeds goal 



by Kelly Wilford 

The 1985 Student Telephone Campaign went 
over its $70,000 goal in the concluding nights, 
according to Floy Holloman, Director of Annual 
Giving. The Telephone Campaign raised $83,629. 

Holloman said that in the final night of calling, 
top callers from the previous nights called people 
who had given $100 or more in past years. In 
the final night they raised $25,800. 

Holloman said in the 16 nights of calling there 
were approximately 200 student callers. The 
groups that called were Chi Omega, Kappa Alpha, 
Kappa Delta, Kappa Sigma, Lambda Chi Alpha, 
Phi Mu, Pi Kappa Alpha, Black Student Association, 
Student Senate, Omicron Delta Kappa and Sigma 
Lambda. The overall group calling winner will 
be announced and the plaque presented at Awards 
Day, said Holloman. The winning group will be 
judged in several categories, including number 
of pledges, percent of pledges out of possible 
callers, percent of new money, participation 
and dollar total in new money. 

Holloman also cited some "interesting statistics" 
in the 1985 campaign. The average gift was $48.52, 
the average number of positive calls per night 
was 192, and the average number of pledges 
per night was 108. The total number of pledges 
was 1,725 and the percent of new money was 
57.20 percent.

Millsaps business team wins 
prestigious Emory Games 



Millsaps News Release 



Jackson, MS - Development of a 
computerized budgeting system 
proved the key to Millsaps College's 
first place industry ranking in the 
prestigious Emory Games, an internat- 
ional business competition held 
earlier this month in Atlanta. 

Millsaps, which also won its industry 
competition in 1983, defeated Brandeis 
University, Wake Forest University, 
University of Richmond, University 
of Dayton and the University of 
Denver in its bid for one of the 
four finalist position. The overall 
competition was won by Calgary 
University. 

"The Millsaps team did extremely 
well in all areas of competition 
by demonstrating negotiation skills, 
computer skills and decision-making 
skills," said Jerry Whit, dean of 
the Millsaps School of Management. 
"The key to our victory, however, 
was a computerized budget making 
session. We did so well because 
we were far ahead of other schools 
in our industry in our knowledge 
and use of the personal computer." 

In the business game competition, 



schools from across the United States 
and Canada were divided into four 
industry groups of six teams each 
with the winner of each industry 
advancing into the finals to determine 
the overall winner. 

Millsaps' group simulated a tele- 
phone manufacturing company starting 
up January 1, 1984, when the govern- 
mental de-regulation of the telephone 
industry became effective. Their 
task in the game was to take $2.5 
million in cash and $1.7 million 
in revolving credit and devise a 
business strategy for building a 
successful company. Their decisions 
involved production, product place- 
ment, marketing and financial 
problem-solving, such as size of 
their plant, capital structure and 
return on investments. Their 
simulation covered two and a half 
years in the life of their company. 

Captain of the Millsaps team 
was Mark Mahoney of Jackson. Team 
members were Julia Ogden and 
Jeff Good , both of Jackson, Joey 
Rein of Brookhaven, Mark Saxon 
of Philadelphia, Suzanne Fondren 
of Pascagoula, and John Ray of 
Coral Springs, Fla.

opinion 

Does anybody 
even care? 



by Matt Kaye 



What does sports really mean! Does 
watching game after game enhance our 
character - I don't think so. I look around 
and see that sports have been a large 
part of my life. For three years, especially 
the last two, my opinion has dominated 
the Millsaps sports page, whether it 
be school-related or my basic BS. 

Most people don't realize it, but being 
sports information director does not 
require me to write for the P&W. That 
is a hobby that allows me a break from 
Millsaps sports. I sincerely thank Trace} 

letters 



and Kelly for allowing me the opportunity. 
It has allowed me to retain my sanity 
in regard to the other people I have to 
deal with. 

We have 1400 students at the school, 
yet less than one percent participate 
in the paper. This isn't a business paper, 
it's a school paper which invites input 
from all. It's been pleaded over and over 
that more people need to write. I'll look 
at it from the sports standpoint. 

I find it extremely difficult to believe 
that there isn't a helluva lot more people 
who can write better than me. Since 
I've been here, I can remember myself, 
Perry Key, Alan Ferguson, Mark Ricketts 
and Barton Thrasher as the only people 
who have written over three articles. 
Five people in three years is pretty damn 
pathetic. The paper needs people t<~> 
cover sports. I chose not to write on 
school athletics for the P&W this year. 
I did so hoping to ignite others to do 
so. They have not. I'd like to apologize 
to the players for the P&W coverage. 
They deserve a lot more. 

I wish some people here would get 
off their ass [sic]. Employers don't want 
the 3.5 students who know nothing except 
how to study. I see someone I've never 
seen before almost every day. They'd 



rather have the 3.0 kid who participated 
and was well-rounded. It's a fact whether 
you study-aholics believe it or not. 

The players make sacrifices to play 
at Division III. I don't know how they 
do it. We never draw over a legit 1500 
in football and basketball is lucky if 
125 show up. Be supportive of the school 
not only in sports, but in other features 
as well. It doesn't take much time. 

This is it for the semester for me. 
I guess I'm burned out. I didn't realize 
until somebody told me. Next year will 
be a new one, hopefully with new ideas 
and new faces. 

Thought for the Week: Not to disappoint 
those who read this without blinking 
an eye, my last prediction of the year 
is Memphis State - 61, St. Johns - 58.

Dear Editor, 

I was fortunate 
enough to hear . the 
Singers perform during 
their Spring Tour and 
I just wanted to congrat- 
ulate them on doing 
such a wonderful job. 
Each member of the 
Millsaps Singers is 
to be commended 
on his/her committment. 
It takes dedication 
to an organization 
to spend one's spring 
break traveling around 
performing. The Singers 
represented our school 
in a very direct manner. 
Performing in Methodist 
churches around the 
South, they establish 
the "image" that hund- 
reds of church supporters 
of our college recognize. 

On behalf of all 
the students who heard 
the Singers, I'd like 
to thank them for 
representing our school 
and tell them how 
much we appreciate

Millsaps News Release 

Jackson - Sex role 
development in children 
and the importance 
gameplaying has on 
the process will be 
examined during the 
March 29 Friday Forum 
program at Millsaps 
College. 

Vivian Gussin Paley, 
author of Boys and 
Girls: Superheroes 
in the Doll Corner, 



will explore the striking- 
ly different ways in 
which boys and girls 
play the sandbox game 
of "Let's Pretend." 
In preparation for 
the compilation of 
her book, Mrs. Paley 
spent a year observing 
and recording the 
fantasies, conversations 
and activities of children 
in her kindergarten 
classroom. Her conclus- 
ion, which will be 
discussed in the Friday 



Forum program, is 
that young children 
actively create separate 
male and female worlds 
in order to define 
themselves unambiguous- 
ly in terms of gender. 

The Friday Forum 
program, open to the 
public without charge, 
will be held from 12:30 
to 1:30p.m. in Room 
215 of the Academic 
Complex on campus.

CHAPEL SERIES 

Dr. Sam Hill will be presenting the Friday Forum 
address scheduled for early February but postponed

ment of Moral Beliefs in the South." Dr. Hill 
is this year's Eudora Welty Visiting Professor 
of Southern Studies.

The Millsaps Singers 
recently went on a 
choir tour during Spring 
Break to churches 
in the Mississippi, 
Alabama and Tennessee 
area, according to 
Dr. Timothy Coker, 
choir director. Their 
program consisted 
of music from the 
Renaissance through 
the present. The Troub- 
adours usually sang 
directly after the 
choir and both the 
choir and Troubadours 
were well-received, 
said Coker. 

Coker feels that 
his first Millsaps choir 
tour was very successful 
and that the choir 
grew closer together, 



both musically and 
personally, as a result 
of the tour. 

Millsaps Singers 
members also 
complimented the 
tour. Tom Rishel said 
"It was fun.. .Staying 
in people's homes 
is- interesting, but 
you get tired of singing 
every day and riding 
on the bus can get 
boring, but overall 
it was fun. I would 
not have missed it." 
Eleni Matos said "It 
taught you a sense 
of responsibility to 
use your free time 
well in order to perform 
well. I enjoyed my 
experience, since 
this was my first time 
to sing in the south. 
I really enjoyed staying 



in other people's homes 
who were so friendly 
to us." "I liked having 
a full week to spend 
with the other people 
(other choirmembers) 
because it is so seldom 
that we get to enjoy 
eachother's company 
and have fun together. 
I think choir tour enables 
people to get to know 
one another," said 
Patton Stevens. 

The next Millsaps 
Singers concert on 
campus is scheduled 
for Friday, April 26 
and the Troubadours 
concert will soon be 
scheduled for sometime 
in the middle of April. 
Sometime this spring 
there will be Troub- 
adours tryouts for 
1985-1986, said Coker.

Millsaps groups help those less fortunate 



Asian Student 
Association... 

by Teresa Quon 

The eggrolls are coming! The eggrolls 
are coming! 550 eggrolls and 1732 fortune 
cookies, to be exact, will invade the 
Millsaps campus on Wednesday, March 
27. 

In coordination with Campus Ministry 
Team's Ethiopian Hunger Drive, the 
Millsaps Asian Student Association will 
be warming its woks to raise funds for 
relief to the starving in Africa and in 
Jackson. From 8p.m. to 12a.m., these 
"gastronomic delights" will be sold in 
the lobby of Bacot dormitory. Delivery 
service will also be provided to other 
on-campus areas. 

All proceeds from the sale will go 
towards the stated relief program. How- 
ever, due to the nature of the cause 
and increased costs, the prices of these 
goods will be slightly higher than the 
previous sale of March 4. For the success 
of its earlier venture with Takie Outie, 
MASA would like to thank the SBA, Dean 
Good, Karen Thueson and the Millsaps 
student body for their support and 
cooperation. 



Lambda Chi Alpha 
and Chi Omega ... 



by Mary Kay Hall 



In cooperation with the Campus Ministry 
Team's fund-raising efforts for the hungry 
in both Ethiopia and Jackson, Chi Omega 
sorority and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity 
are selling Easter balloons. Charles Woods, 
Lambda Chi Vice President, said the 
balloons are $1.00 each and the proceeds 
will go to the Hunger Fund. The balloons 
will have the recipient's name painted 
on them and an attached message from 
the sender. The balloons will be delivered 
the Friday before Easter, said Woods. 
The balloons can be ordered from any 
member of Chi Omega or Lambda Chi 
Alpha this week and next week. 



Student Senate ... 



by KeUy Wilford 

Last night the Student Senate voted 
to sponsor a child in Mozambique, Africa, 
according to Mac Bailey, SBA President. 

Bailey said that the Senate saw this 
as a "charitable act by the Senate on 
behalf of the student body and Millsaps 
College." Bailey said this was an annual 
project that the Senate has participated 
in for the past three years. 

The "adoption" is handled through 
the Foster Parents Plan and will cost 
$264 for a year-long sponsorship. The 
$264 provides food, clothing, shelter 
and other basic necessities. Bailey said 
the Senate overwhelmingly approved 
the project, with only two dissenting 
votes.

Federal deficit spending endangers 
your luture. Right now, the federal

And federal deficit spending is 
getting all of us into trouble. Starting 
a career is tough enough without 
having to struggle with a wounded

with us. inflation, falling industries 
and job shortages could be the 
results.

Search for student 
mascot begins 



The search is on 
for a Millsaps Major 
mascot design, according 
to SBA President Mac 
Bailey. Bailey said 
the Student Senate 
and the SBA Spirit 
Committee, chaired 
by Martha Campbell, 
were sponsoring the 
contest to design a 
Major for the Millsaps 
mascot. The Spirit 
committee will be 
in charge of having 
a Major costume made 
over the summer, 
which "will hopefully 
be ready for the 1985 
football season," said 
Bailey. The full- body 
costume will be compar- 
able to the "rebel" 
mascot at Ole Miss 
and the "bulldog" outfit 
at Mississippi State. 
An election will be 
held along with the 
cheerleader elections 
for the mascot position, 
said Bailey. 

A $25 prize is offered 
to the winner of the 



mascot contest, said 
Bailey, and the selection 
will be made by a 
SBA and faculty member 
committee. Bailey 
said the only require- 
ment is that the color 
scheme be purple 
and white and include 
a Millsaps Major uniform 
idea. He said that 
"all of those with 
artistic talent or those 
who may have a single 
lifetime inspiration 
should participate." 

The winning drawing 
will be submitted 
to the Stylus for 
publication and the 
winning drawing will 
also be printed in 
the Purple and White, 
said Bailey. 

Submissions should 
be turned in to Millsaps 
box 1542Z or to Martha 
Campbell or Mac Bailey. 
The drawings are due 
Wednesday, April 
10, and the winner 
of the mascot competit- 
ion will be announced 
on Friday, April 12. 



Tryouts coming up 

All Millsaps students interested in trying out 
for football cheerleader for the fall 1985 season 
should contact either -Jamie Ware or Jennifer 
Wofford, according to SBA 2nd Vice President 
Brent Alexander. The election is set for mid-April, 
and the election will be 70% judges vote and 
30% student body vote.

prizes offered 



Stylus sponsors two contests 



The Stylus, Millsaps' 
literary magazine, 
is sponsoring two con- 
tests in preparation 
for the Spring 1985 
issue. 

According to co-editor 
Ashley ' Owen, the 
two contests will be 
a cover contest and 
a poetry and prose 
contest. There will 
be a $20 prize for 
first place, a $10 for 
second place, and 
$5 for the third place 
cover entry. In the 
poetry and prose contest, 



there will be a $20 

prize for a winner 
in each category of 
poetry and prose. 
The SBA is sponsoring 

these two contests, 
which were the brain- 
child of Stylus co-editors 
Owen and CeCe Todd. 

Owen said that they 
wanted to have some 
type of encouragement 
for the Millsaps 
community to submit 
their ideas for a cover 
and for poetry and 
prose. 



Owen added that 
the deadline for submiss- 
ions was April 12 at 

midnight, and all creat- 
ive work should be 
submitted to Millsaps 
box 15338. She said 
the Stylus needed 
a variety of work, 
and submissions of 

writing, pen and ink 
drawings, prints, photo- 
graphy, etc. were 
greatly needed. The 
Stylus will come out 
the week before finals 
at the end of April.

New groups rate high

Fraternity pledges new members 



by Tracey Miller 

Alpha Phi Alpha 
fraternity, which became 
inactive in the Spring 
1983, recently pledged 
three new members. 
Seven members ' will 
enable the group to 
be an active chapter 
on campus, said Dean 
of Student Affairs 
Stuart Good. 

New APA members 
are Donald Brooks, 
Ken Eiland and Johnny 
Teague. President 
Zeather Gladney receiv- 
ed initiation help from 



die Jackson alumni 
chapter of APA. 

Gladney said that 
he hopes the three 
members who remain 
next year will initiate 
and "the chapter will 
get back into the swing 
of things." The chapter 
is once again planning 
an Easter egg hunt 
for the children from 
the Millsaps Children's 
Center. 

Good said that "hope- 
fully in the fall they 
[APA members] will 
rush upperclassmen 
and go on to pick up 



freshmen in the spring 
to meet the seven 
member requirement." 
"I encourage their 
recruiting efforts," 
he added. 

Gladney said that 
much of the chapter's 
effort now goes into 
plans for membership. 
Requirements for 
pledging APA state 
that after one semester 
at Millsaps, students 
are eligible for pledging.

SADE - DIAMOND LIFE 

What do you get when you mix French 
Romanticism, Latin Rhythm and one of the sexiest 
voices of the eighties? Well, I really don't know, 
but whatever it is, it's original. And nothing 
makes me happier than to see a group introduce 
something new and do well with it. If SADE 
(pronounced shar-day) can maintain this style 
and their identity to it they will be around the 
music world for a while. 

If you're wondering where the group got a 
name like SADE, it is probably from the lead 
singer's name Sade Adu. Other members of the 
group include Stuart Matthewman (sax and guitar), 
Andrew Hale (keyboards), and Paul S. Dennon 
(bass). Look for these names on other album 
covers, for these are some of the most talented 
instrumentalists around today. 

Predictions are hard to make from this album 
since all of the songs are equally good. I would 
venture to say that "Hang on to Your Love" and 
"I Will be Your Friend" will make the soul chart 
and hopefully the pop chart as well. This album 
is a must and will add to the laid-back, mellow 
side of your collection.

TEEN A MARIE - STARCHILD 

Talent runs, rampant on this collection of vocal 
explosions. Teena has one of those distinguished 
voices that seems to release surprise after surprise. 
From the tight harmony on "Lovergirl" to the 
endless range extremities on "Out on a Limb," 
her vocal talents never seem to end. 

Not only is she a musical whiz vocally, but 
she also plays many instruments on this Starchild 
release. She plays guitar, piano, synthesizer, 
drums, percussion, and programmed the drum 
machine for every song except the title song. 
She single-handedly wrote six of the nine songs 
on the album and co-wrote the other three. 

As far as predictions from this album, I would 
say that you can expect to hear a dynamite slow 
song entitled "Out on a Limb" after "Lovergirl" 
comes off the charts. "Jammin"' and "Alibi" 
will definitely make the top twenty soul 
countdown, but probably not the pop top twenty. 

This album will put some JAM into your 
collection.

he or she must be 
of junior status, with 
an overall 3.0 grade

as a 3.0 GPA in 
sociology, with a \ 
minimum of 12 hours 
in sociology. Scarboro 
emphasized that courses 
in the anthropology 
department count 
towards sociology. 
He also stressed that, 
because the Office 
of Records does not 
keep track of academic 
minors, there may 
be students eligible 
who have not been 
notified. Scarboro 



said he encourages 
anyone who meets,

roups help raise 
money for hunger 

by Kelly Wilford 

A Campus Ministry Team sponsored hunger 
task force is in full swing, raising money for 
hungry persons in Africa and the Jackson Soup 
Kitchen. According to Andy Solomon, who is 
chairing the task force, almost all the Greek 
groups and the Millsaps Asian Student Association 
(MASA), Millsaps Christian Fellowship, and the 
Black Student Association are all making contribut- 
ions to the fund. 

Solomon had a meeting with representatives 
11 the groups several months ago, and the 
project has been in the planning stages since 
then. Solomon said "The Campus Ministry Team 
(CMT) realized that we as a campus rarely 'do 
without'. ..students at Millsaps have all of the 
essentials and even more. With all of the recent 
media interest in the hunger situation in Africa, 
the CMT began thinking about how they could 
bring this to the attention of the Millsaps campus." 
Solomon said that the CMT wanted to help the 
hungry right here in Jackson, in addition to Africa. 
All of the contributions received will be split 
50-50 between the Jackson Soup Kitchen and 
an African hunger fund. The money going to 
Africa will be handled through what Solomon 
teri,ied "an ecumenical organization that guaran- 
tees 100% of the money goes to food, with no 
administrative costs coming out of the money." 
Millsaps Chaplain Don Fortenberry had the inform- 
ation about this organization, he said. 

Solomon recognized several of the groups that 
have already done projects to raise money. He 
said the Kappa Delta's and Kappa Sigma's were

"Spring Out" activities planned 



The Millsaps Spirit Committee 
is planning an outlet for students' 
spring fever- "bpring Out!" Martha 
Campbell, Spirit Committee chairper- 
son, said that this day of fun is sched- 
uled for Friday, April 12. She said 
the committee i°- hoping it will begin 
with a fashion show at lu^ch in the 
cafeteria by a local store. At Z:00, 
activities will begin in the Bowl. 
Campbell said the afternoon would 
consist of several different activities, 
including a suntan competition and 
games "similar to the ones at Fallout 
84, which was last September." 

Easter weekend 



Dorms will remain open over the Easter weekend, 
according to Stuart Good, Dean of Students. 
Good said that although the school offices close 
at noon this Friday, April 5, the school is not 
officially closed. He said there would be food 
service as usual. There will not be an edition 
of the Purple and White next week, but publication 
will resume with the April 16 edition. 



The games will include volleyball, 
a three-legged race, a sack race, 
a fashion relay, a backwards relay 
and a greased watermelon race 
in the Millsaps swimming pool. Camp- 
bell said there would probably also 
be a few more relay races and other 
games. The student body will be 
divided up into eight different teams, 
with approximately 40 people on 
each team for the games, and she 
said there will be t -shirts for all 
of the participants. The winner

opinion 

Millsaps should 
have Easter break 



There is a matter that I have thought 
over in my mind, and have heard many 
complaints about, and I feel would be 
very timely to write about now: the 
fact that Millsaps doesn't have an Easter 
break. This seems ridiculous to me when 
all of the reasons for having one are 
considered. The first and most important 
is the fact that Millsaps is an institution 
of the United Methodist Church, and 
therefore is a religious institution. If 

letters 



for no other reason, Millsaps should at 
least have Good Friday off, as it is an 
important day in the Christian calendar. 
Not having an "official break" also denies 
many students the opportunity of going 
home to be with their family and/or 
friends for Easter. With so many activities 
going on in the Spring semester at Millsaps, 
having a small vacation at Easter would 
provide the much-needed opportunity 
for many students to go home for a long 
weekend. 

It is common knowledge that many 
classes don't meet on Good Friday. Because 
of this, several teacher's views on not 
having Good Friday off are evident, 
so it is not only the students who feel 
this way. 

Sure, the administration might say 
that we get a half-day off, but so few 
(if any) classes meet on Friday afternoon 
after 12:00 anyway, that that really 
isn't much of a consolation. Getting 
out at noon also leaves students with 
11:00 classes with practically no way 
to get to Good Friday services at a church, 
as most services are held at 12:00. 

The school calendar is already set 



for this year and next year, and I know 
that the school must get so many class 
days in the school calendar year, but 
we really should be allowed some sort 
of Easter holiday. I realize it is hard 
to compare Millsaps to other Mississippi 
colleges in most ways, but it should be 

noted that Ole Miss, Mississippi State, 
Belhaven, Mississippi College, Mississippi 
University for Women and Southern (these 
are only the schools that I know about- 
there are probably many more that could 
be included in that list) all get out for 
at least one day - either Good Friday, 
or the Monday after Easter. 

Students, faculty and staff members, 
make your opinion known to the admin- 
istration and/or the Board of Trustees. 
The Student Senate voted on a resolution 
this semester that suggested that the 
Board of Trustees look at this matter 
and consider it. This is something that 
goes deeper than just getting another 
day of school out. ..let someone know 
how you feel. 

-Kelly Wilford 



STEALING PROBLEM 

Dear Editor: 

I'm writing concerning 
the problem of one's 
belongings vanishing 
when left temporarily 
unattended. This is 
a phenomenon I've 
encountered several 
times at Millsaps. 
It's an irritating, costly 
and dishonest phenomen- 
on at that. No, it's 



not a phenomenon; 
it's stealing. Calculator?, 
vanish before tests, 
umbrellas disappear 
when it rains, books 
evaporate before exams 
or when the bookstore 
is buying them back, 
and pens or notes 
are taken whenever 
convenient. Most recent- 
ly, my favorite pair 
of Ray Ban's vanished 
from the front seat 



of my car. This is 
especially bad when 
you buy these things 
yourself. And these 
things are not cheap. 
It's even worse when 
your name is all over 
these things. Considering 
the high intelligence 
requirements of this 
school, I know that 
the responsible ones 
are literate enough

FOOD SERVICE 

To the students of 
Millsaps College: 

Having recently 
*een appointed Chairman 
of the Food Service 
Committee, I thought 
that I would write 
a letter to let you 
know a few things 
that may, or may 
not, be of interest 
to you. 

I have had several 
meetings with the 
managers of the cafeter- 
ia and have learned 
much about the workings 
of Mississippi Valley 
Food Service Corporat- 
ion and our particular 
establishment. Mrs. 
Olivia White, the Direct- 
or of Food Service 
here at Millsaps, is 
really willing to work 
with students to make 
this the best program 
that we can. If you 
would like to talk 
to her, alone or in 
a small group, all 
you have to do is ask 
her and she will set 
up a time with you. 

My personal goals 
for the Food Service 
Committee are twofold. 



One, that we further 
open and keep open, 
lines of communication 
between the students 
and the Cafeteria 
management; and 
two, that the students 
will gain more respect 
for the cafeteria and 
its workers. 

There are three 
activities that we 
are presently working 
on. One is visiting 
some area colleges 
with comparable meals 
and food prices to 
rate the quality of 
our cafeteria. Second 
is some can cutting, 
or sampling, of different 
and new products 
to find the best all 
around quality for 
us here at Millsaps. 

Third is a survey 
of the food service 
of our cafeteria. 

Within the next 
few days there will 
be a survey in circulation 
asking for your com- 
ments and ideas on 
the cafeteria for the 
Food Service Committee 
to look at and gather 
some basic information 
from. I ask that if

from Memphis State 
University, will perform 
the "Sonata" by the 
Hungarian pianinst— 
composer Bela Bartok. 
Much of Bartok's 
revolutionary composition 

style is derived from 
folk idioms that he 
researched in the 
Eastern European

Romania, Hungary

The incorporation 
of assymetrical rhythms

commentary 



Don't ignore opportunities in Mississippi 



by Mary Vassar Ballard 



Last Wednesday I was fortunate to 
attend a day-long seminar sponsored 
by the Jackson Chamber of Commerce 
in conjunction wiht Deposit Guaranty. 
Juniors from each of Mississippi's colleges 
and universities were invited to meet 
some of the state's most renowned business- 
men and to be made aware of the tremend- 
ous opportunities and potential Mississippi 
has to offer. 

To be honest, as much as I love home, 
I have been ready to shake the Mississippi 
mud off my feet and move to a state 
that was a little higher on the totem 
pole. What I learned Wednesday was 
enlightening and so pleasantly surprising 
it caused me to stop and reconsider my 
reasons for wanting to leave. 

Surely all Mississippi natives share 
a deep pride in family roots, the history, 
and solid tradition of the South epitomized 
by Mississippi. And certainly we recognize 
the great wealth of talent represented 
in the cultural arena- from literary legends 
such as Eudora Welty, William Faulkner, 
Walker Percy and Willie Morris to other 
artists such as John Maxwell, Jerry Clower, 
Leontyne Price, Charlie Pride, etc. 

Now the surprise: Mississippi is being 
considered by some of the most lucrative 
nation-wide corporations as the place 
to locate as the end of the century nears. 
Statistics predict that total employment 
in Mississippi is projected to reach approx- 
imately 1,152,810 by 1995- a growth 
of 21% from 1982 to 1995. The finance, 
industry, and real estate sector is projected 
to experience the highest employment 
growth rate of all sectors during these 
years, increasing 34.3% during this period. 



Sales occupations are projected to experi- 
ence the largest employment growth 
rate of all occupational groups, increasing 
27.6%. Showing a growth of 120.3%, 
paralegal personnel is the occupation 
projected to grow most rapidly in Mississi- 
ppi between 1982 and 1995. 

Back to the corporations, why Mississi- 
ppi? What's the big attraction? Location, 
for one. Mississippi is situated perfectly 
between Memphis and New Orleans and 
Dallas and Atlanta and boasts a healthy, 
comfortable climate. Mississippi has 
also started developing many potentially 
lucrative resources- catfish, for example. 
Soon to be a billion dollar industry, catfish 
farming, in addition to bringing in money, 
also translates into more jobs. We can 
all breathe a little easier now that the 
future of education looks brighter, also. 

We can trust that William Winter's Education- 
al Reform Act and the recent teacher 
salary increases will attract top students 
to the teaching profession. More stringent 
ci-iteria is also being demanded for teacher 
certification and a rigorous curriculum 
which (ahem) is being modeled after 
the Millsaps' Education Department's 
program. It is of paramount importance 
that we support public education in our 
state if we are ever to make progress, 
for this is one of the critical factors 
potential locators look for. The executives 
of major corporations- Noryis G. Land, 
Senior Vice President of Farm Credit 
Bonks; Leland R. Speed, President of 
the Eastover Corporation; Richard McRae, 
Jr., President of McRae's Inc.; Richard 
D. Chotard, Jr., President of First Capital 
Corp.; Stuart M. Irby, Vice President 
and General Manager of the Stuart M. 



Irby Company; and J. Kelley Williams, 
President and CEO of First Mississippi 
Corp. have proven successful enough 
to move wherever they choose, and they 
chose to stay here. We would be wise 
to examine why before we cross Mississippi 
off our list. Following a panel discussion 
and lunch in which we had the chance 
to talk to those leaders on a one to one 
basis, we toured businesses such as Deposit 
Guaranty, Allstate and McRae's and 
in their advice, they reiterated precisely 
what the executives had said. It is in 
Mississippi that the best and brightest 
have the chance to reach their potential 
more rapidly by assuming positions of 
responsibility much earlier in their careers. 
What did these men mean by the best 
and brightest? Three things- as respected 
as Millsaps is, a diploma and a high GPA 
doesn't tell them enough. They want 
evidence of #1- intelligence, #2- someone 
who relishes hard work, and #3- someone 
who deals well with people. According 
to these leaders, Matt Kaye was right 
on target in the Opinion last week when 
he said employers would rather have 
someone who has worked hard in both 
academics and in balanced extra curricular 
activities, especially those that involve 
group dynamics. This means far more 
than just filling up a resume' with what 

you think will land you a job. 

I hope this will serve as a further incent- 
ive for us to get our interests and talents 
out of the closet and start developing 
them in ways that edify us as individuals 
and contribute to the entire Millsaps 
community. In summation, don't pack 
your bags! The opportunity may in fact 
be right under your nose. 



Allain signs drinking age bill 



by David Setzer 



On Wednesday, March 
27, Governor Bill Allain 
signed into law a meas- 
ure that will raise 
the drinking age in 
Mississippi from beer 
and light wines from 
18 to 21 as of October 
1, 1986. The age limit 
for buying liquor is 
already 21. 

The law, which would 
have resulted in a 
loss of highway funds 
if not passed, was 
the result of a federal 
mandate to states 
to raise their drinking 
ages by October 1, 
1986. 

Shortly after signing 
the bill, Governor 
Allain said, "If it saves 
the lives we've been 
led to believe it will, 
I think this will be 
a major accomplishment 



for the state." 

Earlier in the Legislat- 
ive session, the Senate 
passed a bill which 
approved raising the 
drinking age to 21 
as of July 1, 1985, 
while the House amended 
the bill to delay raising 
the legal age until 
October 1986. 

The week before 
Allain signed the bill 
into law, the Senate 
accepted the amended 
version. Senate leaders 
pointed out that the 
amended version eased 
through the Senate 
because of the extra 
funds generated from 
the increase in the 
beer excise tax within 
the $77.6 million teacher 
pay raise and tax pack- 
age that was approved 
the same week. The 
beer excise tax will 
be repealed when 



is 



the drinking age 
raised to 21. 

Contained in the 
new law are measures 
that include stiffer 
penalties for both 
minors attempting 
to purchase alcohol 
and for adults who 
sell it to minors. Also 
included are provisions 
to allow military bases 
within the state to 
be excluded from 
the legislation and 
to set their own drinking 
ages. 

Since the bill was 
drafted, the U.S. De- 
fense Department 
has directed all military 
bases to comply to 
their state laws. 
Currently, two of 
the four major military 
bases within Mississippi 
are already conforming 
to the present state 
laws.

Millsaps adds 
women's soccer 
as varsity sport 



Millsaps Sports Release 

Women's soccer 
has been added as 
a varsity intercollegiate 
sport at Millsaps Coll- 
ege, officials announced 

last Tuesday, March 
26. The first competitive 
season for the new 
sport will be in the 
spring of 1986. 

Millsaps women 
athletes currently 
compete in NCAA 
Division III tennis 
and basketball. Men's 
sports include NCAA 
Division III football, 

basketball, baseball, 
soccer and tennis. 

Under the direction 
of George Gober, 
who will adding to 
his current responsibili- 
ties as men's soccer 
coach at Millsaps, 
the women's squad 
will be the first varsity 
women's soccer team 

sponsored at the colleg- 
iate level in Mississippi. 
Millsaps schedule 
will consist of games 
against out-of-state 
varsity squads as well 
as club teams within 
Mississippi and surround- 
ing states. Club status 
is given to collegiate 
teams which practice 
and play independent 
of institutional support 
and financing. 



"Women's 
is coming 



soccer 
Gober 

said. "Our timing means, 
that we will be among 
the first teams around 
so out* first few seasons 
we'll be playing a 
mixed schedule of 
club and varsity teams. 
We're definitely getting 
a jump on the competit- 
ion." 

Gober said that 
with the addition of 

the women's varsity 
team, Millsaps will 
offer a complete spect- 
rum of women's soccer 
programs including 
an intramural program 
and a club team which 
has competed for 
the past three years 
at the college level. 

"We will be able 
to offer soccer on 
whatever level of 
competition a student 
may want," Gober 
said. "We feel this 
is a definite drawing 
point for the woman 
athlete." 

Gober, a four-year 
veteran of the Millsaps 
coaching staff, served 

as a member of the 
NCAA regional coaching 
staff which selected 
members of a 14-state 
squad which eventually 
won a ■ 1984 national 
championship. 



Baseballers lose 
doubleheader 



The Millsaps Majors lost both games of a double- 
header to Illinois Wesleyan last Saturday, March 
30. Illinois Wesleyan won the first game 13-3 
in five innings and took the second game 10-5 
in nine innings. 

Steve Bridges and Mike McNeely, two Illinois 
Wesleyan players hit home runs to fire up a fourth 
inning that netted them ten runs in the first 

game. Major Chad Lamar had three doubles in 
the second game for Millsaps. The Majors' record 
now stands at 3-10.

Musicians for Africa- 
commendable but mixed 

by Reed Hubbard 

Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas? b/w 
Feed the World - **** 

USA for Africa - We Are the World b/w Grace 
(Q. Jones) - * 

It is November, 1984. Englishman Bob Geldof, 
lead singer for the Boomtown Rats, has just 
returned from Ethiopia and is appalled by the 
hardship and struggle faced by these people. 
As he decides to do something about it, he gets 
in touch with Midge Ure of the new romantic 
quartet, Ultravox, writes a song, and starts a 
series of phone calls which will bring together 
one of the greatest assemblies of musicians in 
history. Under the name Band Aid, this chorus 
of stars released a single which topped the charts 
in America, Europe and Japan for several months, 
despite its being a Christmas song. All profits 
from sales went to help the Ethiopian famine 
victims. In America, Harry Belafonte decides 
that this is a good idea, and contacts Gelcof 
for the purpose of assembling a similar group 
of Americans with the same goal. This group 
becomes United Support of Artists for Africa 
and releases a song entitled "We Are the World" 
with the promise of an upcoming album. 

There is no question that both of these groups 
are gathered for a noble cause, however, putting 
this fact aside, we ask the question, "How good 
is the music?" First, we look at Band Aid. This 
group assembled, recorded, and mixed its song 
in a twenty-four hour period. The song was 
extremely well . written by two of the finest 
songwriters in the world today. The line-up 
not only contained the finest British musicians 
on today's music scene (including Sting, Phil 
Collins, Bono Vox, Paul Weller, Big Country, 
and others), but also drew a fairly similar stream 
Of musical styles. This allowed the song to flow 
through the voice changes extremely smoothly. 
Side two allowed several of the participants 
to voice their pleas for aid to the starving country 
and express their wishes for the listener to have 
a merry Christmas. One final twist of fate or 
genius is the fact that this is a Christmas song, 
meaning that it will be played and sold every 
Christmas for at least the next ten to fifteen 
years. 

Where Band Aid succeeds, USA for Africa 
fails and fails miserably. Since it was a 
non-spontaneous thing, they should have had 
ample time to write an excellent composition. 
Despite this and the fact that outstanding 
songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, Paul 
Simon and Stevie Wonder were present, the task 
assigned to Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson 
who wrote that would fit perfectly on any of 
either one's past albums . (I can just see myself 
turning on the TV next month and hearing "We 
are the world, Pepsi is the drink"). The lineup 
contains such a diverse group of vastly different 
artists that making the voice changes smoothly 
is impossible. Vocals jump from Lionel Richie 
to Kenny Rogers to Cyndi Lauper to Huey Lewis 
and the listener is totally lost. It seems that 
where Band Aid was more concerned with

MUSICIANS, from tj.7 

producing a quality product that could stand 
on it's own, USA for Africa is more concerned 
with who is singing and wants the reputation 
of the artists to strongly influence the sales 
of the song. This is obvious when Bob Dylan is 
given a solo (even the staunchest Dylan fan will 
admit that his voice leaves much to be desired). 
The pictures make this event look like the social 
event of the season instead of a serious attempt 
to aid Ethiopian famine victims. Finally, the 
B-side of this single is a Quincy Jones composition 
which has nothing to do with the thrust of the 
A-side. None of the originality or cleverness 
of the Band Aid composition is evident. It seems 
to be more of a "Look at us! Aren't we noble?" 
message. 

Of course, there is no doubt that helping the 
afflicted African nations is a noble deed, however 
this article is not a criticism of the motive, 
just the method in which it was pursued. If you 
want to help out in this movement, I would strongly 
suggest purchasing the Band Aid song which 
is still available. It is a better composition at 
a better price and contains some of the finest 
work by an all-star chorus ever recorded. As 
for USA for Africa, unless you like the song 
personally, don't bother.

Chi Omega's are involved in a joint 
project selling Easter balloons. "We 
hope all of the groups will sponsor 
other groups' projects," Solomon 
said. 

He also encouraged students to 
participate in another project relating 
to this task force. The CMT is 
encouraging students to forego their 
evening meal for the night of Tuesday, 
April 16. The cafeteria has agreed 
to contribute food to the Soup Kitchen 
based on the number of people who 
give up their meal numbers for that 
meal. Solomon said they would be 
giving canned goods which are dietary 



staples to help people right here 
in Jackson. CMT members will be 
signing students up three different 
times before that Tuesday meal. 
Students can give up their meal 
numbers in the Student Union on 
Thursday, April 11 from 11:15 until 
1:30 and from 4:30 until 6:15. There 
will also be CMT members signing 
people up on Friday, April 12 from 
11:15 until 1:30. Solomon said that 
this particular project was one way 
that everyone could be included 
- both those affiliated and those 
not affiliated with other social groups. 

Solomon emphasized that this 
project was "a way we as a campus 
can be measured.. .it will look good 
for Millsaps as a campus to participate 
in something like this." He continued 
to say that the basic motivation 
behind the project was the fact 
that we at Millsaps "could give some- 
thing up since we so rarely have 
to. The CMT started this project 
because we felt like we 'had it so 
good' that we wanted to give some- 
thing up and provide an outlet for 
other students who wanted to contri- 
bute."

Elections for Master 
Major, Major's Lady 
and football cheerleaders 
will be held this Thurs- 
day, April 18. SB A 
2nd Vice President 
Brent Alexander said 
the elections would 
be held from 12:30 
until 6:00 in the Student 
Union. 

Cheerleader tryouts 
will be held from 11:30 
until 12:30 in the Bowl. 
This year, for the 
first time, 12 cheerlead- 
ers will be selected 
instead of the usual 
number of ten, Alexan- 
der said. There will 
also be an opinion 
survey on student 
study space that the 



newly-selected SBA 
?id hoc committee 
on additional study 
space will be sponsoring. 

Nominations for 
Master Major and 
Major's Lady are due 
tomorrow, Wednesday, 
April 17 at 5:00 p.m. 
and should be submitted 
to box 15442. SBA 
President Mac Bailey 
said that the nominees 
must have senior status 
and should have contri- 
buted time and effort 
to the Millsaps commun- 
ity as a whole. They 
also should "be exemp- 
lary of the ideal Millsaps 
student (academically, 
athletically, culturally, 
leadership qualities, 
etc.)." 



Publications Board 
announces editors 



The Millsaps Publications Board recently 
announced Editor appointments for the 1985-86 
school year. Publications Board chairperson Lida 
Burris said that Anthony Cloy was unanimously 
approved as the editor of the Bobashela for 
1985-86. Cloy has served as assistant editor 
for this year's yearbook. Stylus editors were 
also recently appointed. Burris said that two 
editors were chosen for the Stylus, one each 
semester. Burris said that this year was the first 
year to have a different editor for each semester 
and it seemed to have worked out well. She also 
said that the committee had to look at the fact 
that the applicants had comperable qualifications 
and Maria Verez was interested in a one-semester 
appointment. Verez will serve as Stylus editor 
for the fall semester and Andrew Boone will 
serve as Stylus editor for the spring semester.

community service 



is needed 



by Doris G. Bridgeman 



Since its establishment in October 
of 1983, the Young Volunteers in Action 
program has involved over 400 junior 

letters 



and senior high and college students 
between the ages of 14 and ZZ in hinds 
and Rankin counties. They have been 
instrumental in providing services at 
some 40 agencies, donating over 14,000 
hours of time, energy and talents to 
the organizations they serve. 

Some examples of services include 
adopting grandparents at nursing homes, 
assisting with patient services at hospitals, 
working as library assistants, recreation 
leaders, dormitory counselor assistants 
for handicapped children, tutors, entertain- 
ers, office workers and radio station 
assistants. 

Several Millsaps students have participat- 
ed in this program. Susan Bercaw has 
volunteered her time at the State Street 
YWCA, Jim Irby has worked at Operation 
Shoestring, and for the second year, 
Circle K Club members have volunteer- 
ed at Operation Shoestring, Mississippi 
Children's Rehabilitation Center, the 
V.A. Medical Center, the American Diabe- 
tes Foundation, and the American Red 



Cross. 

There is still a need for volunteer 
community assistance in many agen- 
cies. Young volunteers can really become 
part of their communities by getting 
involved in them. There are immediate 
openings for Senior Aides Assistants, 
Public Speakers, Receptionists, Resident 
Recreation Leaders, Tutors for Elementary 
and Junior High students, hospital workers, 
radio station assistants, museum helpers 
and many, many more. 

For more information on the Young 
Volunteers in Action project, contact 
the Voluntary Action Center at 354-1765.

LIBRARY MATERIALS 
DESERVE RESPECT 

Dear Editor, 

It has come to my 
attention through 
personal experience 
that certain school 
conviences have been 
taken advantage of. 
The library has provided 
a twenty-two thousand 



dollar security system 
to protect our resource 
materials. This system 
is especially helpful 
to libararians and 
their aids in that they 
have more time to 
help students instead 
of watching the door. 
To the student, it 
is no hassle to walk 
through the gate without 



showing his i.d. or 
opening his bag. 

The problem arises 
when peiople work 
around the system 
to steal our reading 
material. It is bad 
enough to look up 
a book and find it 
checked out, but when 
it's stolen or has several 
chapters ripped from

it, nobody benefits. 
A lot of trouble stems 
from non-students 
who don't care for 
our property or aren't 
aware of the penalties. 
Stealing of library 
material can result 
in a $500 fine and 
six months in jail. 
There aren't many 
people who can receive 
a higher education 
in prison. 

I know there is not 
much the honest individ- 
ual can do, but they 
can be aware there

LACK OF STUDY 
SPACE DURING EAST- 
ER 

Dear Editor: 

In response to your 
article on the lack 
of an Easter break, 
I too would like to 
object. However, after 
giving it substantial 
thought, I decided 
that not having a break 
was partially justified 
considering we do 
have a Fall break. 
Then I learned that 
even though we were 
expected to have class 
and even take tests 



on the Monday after 
Easter the library 
was to be closed all 
day Sunday! Here 
again, I stopped and 
logically thought, 
as I assumed the admin- 
istration had, that 
it was right for the 
library to be closed. 
After all, it was Easter. 
Naturally, I decided 
to look for somewhere 
else to study. The 
AC afforded such 
a place and it was 
here that I found a 
nice little room where, 
despite the organ 
playing in the Recital 
Hall, it was relatively 
quiet. Here, I decided 
I could at least study 
until about 11:00 p.m. 
Wrong again. At approx- 
imately 8:30, the door 
to my nice little study 
room was opened and 
I was informed by 
a security guard that 
I had to leave! He 
further informed me 
that the AC and 
Sullivan-Harrell were 
to have been locked 
at 8 o' clock!! 

Here I draw the 
line! Is Millsaps not 
only a Methodist

JIM LUCAS SCHOLARSHIP 

Several years ago a scholarship fund was 
established to honor Jim Lucas, a former Millsaps 
student who distinguished himself in the field 
of photography. The scholarship is intended for 
a student who exhibits particular talent in 
technical theatre and expects to pursue a career 
in that field. Applicants need not, however, be 
limited to theatre majors. Anyone interested 
in being considered should notify Dean Robert 
King by Thursday, April 18. The recipient for 
next year will be announced at the Awards Day 
ceremony on April 25. 



FOOTBALL MANAGERS NEEDED 

Two managers are needed for the 1985 Millsaps 
Major football team as soon as possible. Any 
interested persons should contact Coach Harper

Singers auditions to be held 



by Eleni Matos 



Auditions for Millsaps 
Singers and Troubadours 
will be held this week 
and next week, according 
to Dr. Timothy Coker, 
Singers director. Audit- 
ions for Singers will 
be April 15, 16, 17 
and 19. Audition times 
are available on sign 
up sheets outside of 
the Singers room. 
Troubadour auditions 



will be held April 
d and 23. Attendance 
-s required both days. 
The first day is a singing 
audition and the second 
day consists of a dance 
audition. 

Coker said "Don't 
worry if you don't 
think you have a great 
voice. We are looking 
for enthusiastic and 
hard-working people, 
not soloists." There 
will also be a change 
in schedule for Singers 



next year. Singers 
will meet Monday, 
Wednesday and Friday 
at 12:00. 

Next year, in addition 
to Messiah, the Singers 
will perform with 
both the Jackson and 
Meridian Symphony 
Orchestra's. Coker 
said that next year 
should be an exciting 
year for Singers, as 
they will be celebrating 
their 50th anniversary 
with a special concert. 



Study space committee formed 



An SBA Ad Hoc committee on 
additional study space was recently 
formed to provide a outlet for students 
to voice their opinions on the lack 
of study space, especially during 
exams. 

The committee was appointed 
by SBA President Mac Bailey on 
April 8, and is chaired by Danny 
Donovan. 

Donovan said that the committee 
met yesterday, Monday, April 15, 
to discuss options. He said the 
committee will give a survey along 
with the other elections being held 
this Thursday. "The information 
the committee gets from the survey 
will be used to try to get more study 
space during exams," Donovan said. 
lie also said he had talked to Security 
director Wayne Miller, who said 



that something had been done about 
the need of more study space during 
exams last semester and he expected 
to do something to help the situation 
this semester as well. Donovan's 
goal is to have two buildings open 
24 hours a day during exams, but 
Miller may not agree to that idea. 

The results of the survey will 
be correlated and analyzed and 
presented in the form of a petition 
to the administration for action, 
said Bailey. He also urged students 
to "participate and voice your opinion" 
on the survey this Thursday. 

Other members of the study space 
committee are Brent Alexander, 
Waverly Booth, Jim Boswell, Elton 
Burris, Ed Hutchison, Stephanie 
Sonnier, Susan Van Cleve and Jo 
Watson.

Millsaps Sports Release 

Eight individual 
wins by members of 
the Millsaps men's 
tennis team brought 
home the NCAA Division 
III South Regional 
tournament title this 
week — and with it, 
renewed hopes for 
a bid to the NCAA 
Division III finals. 
The men's team has 
compiled a 12-6 record 
for the 1985 season. 

"If we win the next 
two matches, it's 90 
percent sure we'll 
be going," said Head 
Coach James Montgom- 
ery, who last summer 
was named NCAA 
Division III coach 
of the year. "We're 
having a positive sea- 



son. 

Millsaps' tournament 
wins were netted by 
singles players Rod 
Cook of Shreveport, 
Louisiana; Rob Buxton 
of Indianola, Iowa; 
Billy Bergner of Over- 
land Park, Kansas; 
Kirk Patrick of Baton 
Rouge, Louisiana; 
and Ben Ward of Natch- 
ez. Doubles wins came 
from Bill Briggs of 
Moss Point and Patrick; 
Cook and Steve Martin 
of Tchula; and Ward- 
-Bergner. 

The Lady Majors 
tennis team, withits 
recent defeat of Delta 
State University 7-2, 
has improved its 1985 
season record to 12 
wins and five losses. 



Millsaps sports banquet 
to be held April 26 



Millsaps Sports Release 



The Millsaps College Sports Banquet 
and Hall of Fame presentations 
will be held in the Boyd Campbell 
Student Center on Friday, April 
26 at 6:30 p.m. At the ceremony, 
the 1984-85 intercollegiate sports 
award winners and lettermen from 
all sports will be honored as well 
as inductees into the Millsaps College 
Sports Hall of Fame. 

The Distinguished Athletic Service 
Award, presented annually to a 
long-time supporter of Millsaps 
sports teams and the College, will 
be bestowed upon Dr. Don Mitchell 
of Jackson. A team doctor for inter- 
collegiate athletes at Millsaps, Mitch- 
ell is a 1964 graduate who participated 
in varsity football at quarterback 
and baseball at outfielder-pitcher 
while in college. He now practices 
medicine with the Mississippi Allergy 
Clinic in Jackson. He is married 
to hte former Mary Sue McDonnell, 
who as a student at Millsaps was 
named Homecoming Queen in 1962 
and Miss Millsaps in 1963. 

Four outstanding Millsaps alumni 
athletes will be inducted into the 
College's Hall of Fame: Rusty Boshers 
of Jackson, Timmie Millis of Wylie, 
Texas (formerly of Mendenhall), 
Dr. Vinnie Lynch of Austin, Texas 
and Van Stewart of Vicksburg. 

Boshers, a 1971 Millsaps graduate, 
lettered four years in football as 
tight end, defensive end and offensive 
tackle. A graduate of Memphis Hill- 
crest High School, he was extremely 



fast for his size and was able to 
compile a distinctive record on 
both offensive and defensive teams. 
He is a teacher and coach at St. 
Andrews Episcopal School in Jackson. 

Millis, born in Mendenhall, entered 
Millsaps in 1965. He was a star in 
football, where he played fullback 
and linebacker and was a shot putter 
and discus thrower. He currently 
operates his own financial consulting 
business in Wylie, Texas. 

Lynch, bora in Brooklyn, N.Y., 
entered Millsaps in 1970 and became 
an outstanding basketball player 
for the Majors. He was named Most 
Valuable Player in 1974 and was 
selected as captain of the team 
his senior year. Lynch, a chemistry 
major at Millsaps, is a Post-Doctoral 
Fellow at the University of Texas- 
-Austin working in a research position. 

Stewart, a native of Vicksburg, 
graduated from Millsaps in 1948 
with a B.S. degree in physics. He 
played four years of football as 
a tight end and guard and also lettered 
in baseball as a catcher-outfielder. 

On the Majors basketball team, 
he played guard. Stewart received 
the H.T. Newell award as the Most 
Valuable Player in 1948 and was 
captain of the football team. He 
lives in Natchez. 

During the banquet, trophies will 
be awarded to the Millsaps athletes 
in all sports for the Most Valuable 
Player and Best Offensive and Defens- 
ive Players. Tickets are available 
at the door for $8.

Loggins does it 
again; Little River 
Band changes style 



Insurance problems dry up campuses 



by Blake Smith 



Kenny Loggins- VOX HUMANA 

The vocal king has done it again. The singing 
talents of Kenny Loggins et al. on his last two 
releases (i.e. High Adventure and VOX HUMANA) 
deserve nothing less than Magna Cum Laude. 
No one will ever be able to imitate this style 
and I doubt he will ever be forced to change 
his style, at least not vocally. 

The album also contains some meaningful lyrics 
with little reptition and superb instrumentation. 
It may not be as explosive as High Adventure 
was, but this album will send three of its nine 
cuts to the top twenty. "Vox Humana" is already 
on its way up the charts and as soon as it starts 
dropping "I'll Be There" and "Forever" will start 
the climb. 

VOX HUMANA is simply a MUST.

Little River Band- Playing to Win 

I have always liked the tight style of the Little

Said It Was Easy" and "You Know How Those 
Boys Are" will remain on my list of all-time 
greats for a long time. The old style of Little 
River Band has become somewhat "old hat" so 
on their recent release Playing to Win they intro- 
duce a reformed style. 

The style change is definite and remarkable; 
the band sounds totally different. Only the vocal 
style has remained untouched by the style transit- 
ion. The new style sounds like a group trying 
to imitate the chord progressions and odd rhythms 
of Yes mixed with some Foreigner qualities. 
It's a decent sound, but that's about all. One 
cut, the title song "Playing to Win" stands out 
as the only potential hit. In my book the album 
Playing to Win didn't.

North Dartmouth, 
MA — In a trend which 
many experts claim 
could soon spread 
nationwide, all Massach- 
usetts state colleges 
and universities are 
being forced to halt 
campus alcohol sales 
because they can't 
find an insurance com- 
pany to carry their 
iilcohol liability policies. 

It could make college 
bars and on-campus 
liquor sales obsolete. 

"No other state 
is in as severe a position 
as Massachusetts, 
yet," notes Mark Rosen- 
berg of the Insurance 
Information Institute 
(III). "But it's a growing 
problem . around the 
country and it could 
easily become as severe 
in other areas." 

The problem arose 
first at Southeastern 
Massachusetts University 
(SMU), when 
administrators recently 
learned their insurance 



broker couldn't locate 
u company willing 
to renew their alcohol 
liability insurance. 

Such coverage protects 
the university, campus 
bar employees, administ- 
rators, and regents 
from lawsuits connected 
with on-campus alcohol 
comsumption. 

SMU received notice 
its alcohol coverage 
would not be renewed 
at the end of March 
because insurance 
companies were getting 
out of the alcohol 
liability business. 

"The underwriters 
are simply no longer 
renewing any bar or 



coverage

explains Francis Gordon, 
director of auxiliary 
services at SMU. "They'- 
re getting out of alcohol 
liability 
except for 
ments with 
food-alcohol 
And there's 
a college campus bar 
can serve that much 
food." 

Only days after 
SMU learned its alcohol 
coverage would not 
be renewed, state 
colleges throughout 
Massachusetts were 
told their alcohol 
policies would be cancel-

cont. from p. 7 

led April 1, 1985. 

Because Massachusetts 
law requires state 
schools to carry liability 
insurance before they 
can serve alcohol, 
on-campus alcohol 
sales in the state virtual- 
ly have ended, Gordon 
says. 

"We've (SMU) already 
stopped selling alcohol 
here," he says, "and 
the other schools will 
have to do the same 
thing real soon. Even 
without the state 
law, we couldn't afford 
to continue serving 
alcohol without liability 
insurance." 

Experts say the 
lack of alcohol liability 
insurance easily could 
spread to other states. 

"The commercial 
liability industry is 
in a very tough time," 
notes Bob Fulton, 
an insurance broker 
with Child, Savory 
and Hayward in Boston, 
which unsuccessfully 
tried to find a company 
to renew SMU's alcohol 
liability policy. 

"From what we've 
seen, insurance compan- 
ies are very anxious 
to get out of the liability 
market in general, 
and alcohol liability 
coverage in particular," 
he says. 

The reason, Fulton 
and other experts 

say, is a combination 
of tougher drinking 
laws, increased liability 
of bars and taverns 
for the actions of 
intoxicated patrons 
and mushrooming 
court awards in alcohol — 
related lawsuits. 



or a dormitory or 
any other kind of party 
and you gave liquor 
to a minor, you impose 
the possibility of 
common-law negligence" 
by selling liquor to 
underaged students, 
he warns. 

"In the wake .of 
all these law changes 
and crackdowns, what's 
happening is that some- 
one drinks himself 
blind, goes out and 
wraps his car around 
a telephone pole or 
crashes into another 
car, and then the victims 
and their families 
sue the bar or fraternity 
for huge financial 
settlements," says 
Donna McKenna of 
the Professional Insur- 
ance Agents association. 

"That's why (insurance 
companies) are dropping 
alcohol liability. If 
more insurance compan- 
ies quit offering alcohol 
liability policies, col- 
leges may find it 
increasingly costly 
to serve liquor, or

opinion 



Stylus deserves 
recognition 



by Lauren Gordon 



Millsaps Stylus - has it become something 
we pass over as an amateur literary 
effort by students with not much real 
training? If it has been taken for granted 
it definitely should not be. At the Southern 
Literary Festival competition this week- 
end, the Millsaps Stylus won first place 
in the competition for literary magazines. 
According to Betsy Gwin, editor of the 
prize-winning Stylus, "We tried a lot 




of new ideas on this Stylus, and they 
really paid off for us." 

"We didn't know if the judges would 
love the flashy orange cover or hate 
it," Gwin commented, "but we definitely 
knew it would get their attention." Schools 
from around the South entered the South- 
era Literary Festival competitions, and 
Millsaps was pitted against schools such 
as LSU and Mississippi State. The orange 
cover may have gotten the judges' attent- 
ion initially, but many more factors 
combined to make the Stylus number 
one from among so many schools. 

According to Gwin, the Stylus staff 
met several times to look back through 
issuejs of the Stylus since the 1950's. 
"Looking through old issues we found 
the same style repeatedd so many times. 
Most of the covers were tan or natural 
with calligraphy lettering and the overall 
image was really subdued," Gwin noted, 
ler staff decided to give the Stylus 
a more upbeat, professional image. 

New ideas to update the Stylus included 
the use of glossy rather than textured 



paper, a graphically sytled, bright-colored 
cover design, and a square format instead 
of the usual rectangle. "Our faculty 
advisor, Dr. Austin Wilson, really encour- 
aged us to try these ideas. He didn't 
try to limit us at all, even though we 
weren't sure how the overall magazine 
would lock," said Gwin. 

In her Editor's Note for the Stylus, 
Gwin expressed the opinion that the 
Stylus is a good illustration of the fact 
that Millsaps students have more depth 
than thei - majors or other campus activi- 
ties represent. "People wouldn't think 
of a business or chemistry major contribut- 
ing to a literary magazine," she explained, 

"but we had several." The Southern Liter- 
ary Festival judges picked this point 
out, saying that the Stylus' use of art 
tied in well with the editorial comment. 

rhe judges praised not only the cover 
Resign but the layout, art reproduction, 
paper stock, and readability. "The overall 
magazine is professionally done," ended 
tha judges comment, and Millsaps students 
should be extremely proud of their Stylus. 



LIBRARY HOURS DURING 
EASTER EXPLAINED 

Dear Editor: 

I share the frustration 
of Waverly Booth 
as expressed in her 
letter to the editor 
in last week's P&W. 
She mentioned, with 
some understanding, 



that the library was 
not open Easter Sunday 
and there was no place 
to study. Holiday per- 
iods, including those 
times like Easter, 
Fall break and Spring 
break that I think 
of as "non-holidays", 
are very difficult 



to plan around for 
those of us in service 
departments on the 
campus. Easter is 
especially difficult 
in that the campus 
honors a half-good 
Friday, implying that 
this is a weekend of 
holiday, almost. 




College Press Service 

N> wnt w m asms us out* risw mv 



-staff 



Unfortunately, this 
places some of us 
in difficult positions: 
The library is one 
of the very few campus 
services that attempts 
weekend hours at 

all. Is it fair to ask 
people, staff and student 
assistants alike, who 
work weekends normally 
anyway, to work during 
a college holiday? 
Is it fair to expect 
business as usual on 
Easter Sunday? (Last 
year we did open because 
it came two days before 
the end of classes.) 
What follows the "holi- 
day" and what pressures 
are being placed on 
the students? How 
many, in fact, want 
or need service? This 
year I chose to provide 

what we could without 
opening on Sunday: 
We remained open 
our regular hours on 
Good Friday and some 
of us, four students 
and I, gave up our 
Saturday to be open 
and a good many 

people benefitted. 
I was pleased that 
we had done something 

a little special. 

Each time such 



things come up it 
is a new ballgame 
and there is a lot of 
guesswork. Those 
of us who have nothing 
to do with the calendar 
but who are expected 
to work around it, 
given whatever resources 
we can muster, do 
the best we can. I 
think it is important 
for students to realize 
that such decisions 
are not made by the 
anonymous "administrat- 
ion" but that a lot 
of people are involved 
on different levels. 
We do the best we 
can — sometimes 
it works and sometimes 
it doesn't. 

As to the need of 
study space, as opposed 
to the need for library 
service, whether during 
holiday periods or 
late evenings, I hope 
the College can arrive: 
at a satisfactory solut- 
ion, but I am puzzled 
about why the new 
grill and study space 
in the student center 
are not helping to 
alleviate this problem. 

Yours truly, 
Jim Parks

Law , racism to be discussed 



by Jo Watson 



Budding young 
pre-law students who 
think of law careers 
primarily in terms 
of financial gain may 
be interested in seeing 
the other side of law. 
Robert McDuff, Assista- 
nt Professor of Law

Course on the 60 's 
to be offered 



by Tracey Miller 



a better 
of the 

Culture 



Most students at 
Millsaps have only 
vague memories of 
the sixties — memories 
from childhood clouded 
ovei" with a knowledge 
gained in school of 
what actually happened. 
Finally, however, 
a course is being offered 
to present not only 
this somewhat familiar 
historical aspect of 
the decade, but also 
the cultural side that 
allows for 
appreciation 
1960's. 

"American 
- the 1960's" will be 
offered next fall as 
a continuation of Mill- 
saps' American Studies 
course. Dr. Robert 
McElvaine and Dr. 
Lome Fienberg will 
teach the course, 
which can be taken 
as History 300 or English 
300, on Monday and 
Wednesday at noon. 

McElvaine said that 
"a course on the 1960's 
is a way of encouraging 
people to think about 
what they believe 
and know about the 
1960's; to say 'like 
the 60s' and mean 
something." He added 
that there is an "ignor- 
ance about what was 
going on not too long 
ago." McElvaine said 
that most students 
were born in the 1960's 
and know the least 
about it. "Birth to 
12 or 14 years is a 
blank," he said. Fianberg 
added that people 
most often "misremem- 
ber" what happened 
a decade ago. 

The course has 
particular relevance 
to Mississippi students 



because of the civil 
rights movement, 
McElvaine said. He 
said also that Viet 
Nam would be discussed 



a great deal. Senior 
Political Science major 
Jo Watson added that 
the study of Viet Nam 
is important not only 
as a foreign policy 
consideration, but 
as a domestic crisis 
that shook our nation. 

Culturally speaking, 
music, films and art 
of the 1960's will be' 
explored in the course. 
It's important that 
these mediums remain 
alive, Fienberg said, 
because "they do a 
great deal to shape 
what we create now." 

The films to be 
used during the course 
are "Easy Rider," 
"Woodstock," "In The 
Heat," "Dr. Strangelove," 
"The Graduate," "2001," 
"Bonnie and , Clyde" 
and "Medium Cool." 
Fienberg said that 
SBA First Vice President 
Patrick Patrick said 
the SBA would sponsor 
the j film presenta- 
tions. He said the 
presentations would 
be an intellectual 
activity to involve 
the whole Millsaps 
community. Fienberg 
added that the use 
of films in the course 
will be for "film as 
film, rather than as 
social document." 

The books for the 
course include Fire 
in the Streets: America 
in the 1960's, by Milton 
Viorst; The Other 
America, by Michael 
Harrington; The Femin- 
ine Mystique, by Betty 
Friedan; Coming of

Nation-wide campus housing prices to rise next fall 



College Press Service 



Students will pay more to live on campus 
next fall, thanks to rising utility and 
housing costs, increasing staff salaries 
and inflation rates, say campus housing 
officials around the nation. 

Last year, dorm rates went up an average 
of four to seven percent, and observers 
say the same factors that forced up 
costs last year will increase 1985-86 
dorm rates by about the same percentages. 

"There's no definite dorm trend," con- 
tends Paul Jahr, research committee 
chairman of the Association of College 
and University Housing Officers (ACUHO). 
"Each institution has its own demographics 
that determine rates." 

"Dorms closing, opening, rates rising, 
lowering. They're probably all true," 
adds Jim Grimm, president of the College 
and University Housing Officers Inter- 
national and housing director at the 
University of Florida. 

"There is no national trend, he concurs. 
"Rates are dependent on each institution 
and its enrollment standards." 

Yet each institution's specific conditions 
seem to being on dorm hikes whether 
enrollments rise or fall. 

University of Tennesssee officials, 
for example, predict enrollment will 
drop for the fourth consecutive year, 
thanks to tighter admissions requirements. 

Because there will be fewer students, 
UT housing rates will go up 5.5 percent 
next fall, says Residence Du-ector Jim 
Grubb. 

"The yearly increase for us is more 
related to the inflation trend, " he explains. 
"In the future, we'll see increases staying 



at about four to six percent." 

Meanwhile, Michigan State administra- 
tors anticipate the largest freshman 
enrollment in five years, and a six to 
seven percent increase in the rate of 
returning students. 

But at Michigan State, more students 
mean "housing will still go up 2.9 percent," 
says Housing Officer Charles Gagliano. 

"We're very proud it's below the inflation 
factor," he says. "It's one of the lowest 
increases in the nation." 

Gagliano says higher enrollment won't 
offset the increasing costs of institutional 
maintenance. 

Indeed, Penn State's rates will go up 
five percent next fall to cover increased 
utility and operating costs. School officials 

predict nearly 500 students won't be 
able to get into campus housing. 

Harvard's housing costs will jump from 
$1,635 this year to $1,7 50 next year 
to help pay off a $50 million renovation 
project, says housing officer Lisa Colvin. 

Students at the universities of Oklahoma 
and Washington will pay nearly four 
percent more for housing next fall to 
cover salary and utility cost hikes. 

And Western Michigan students will 
pay $176 more per year for room and 
board to cover food, phone, and supply 
cost adjustments. An additional $25 
deferred maintenance fee will be used 
to renovate residence halls. 

At the University of Illinois-Urbana 
and New York's Ithaca College, housing 
cost hikes will pay for specific construction 
projects. 

Despite widespread protest, Ul-Urbana 
dorm residents will pay $24 extra a year 



to help pay for new dorm construction 
at the system'? Chicago campus. 

Ithica students will pay an additional 
$62 per smester", nearly nine percent 
more than last year, for a new dorm 
built last year. 

"The dorm cost is impacting on next 
year's housing costs," says Assistant 
Bursar Steve Schwan. "But another portion 
of the increase goes to operating costs." 

Most students say the housing increases 
are fair, but they wish administrators 
would use some of the money generated 
by increased rates to improve the quality 
of dorm food. 

"Last year the food and prices were 
so bad that we had a student uprising," 
says Jeff Ward of the University of Wash- 
ington. "It had the usual effect: a shuffling 
of management. But the food quality 
has since declined, and the prices are 
going up again." 

"Prices are going up," adds UW student 
Lisa Stewart. "But mostly they're fair. 
I think the dorms are fine." 

"The rates are comparable to off-campus 
housing" says University of Houston 
student Kim Smerlinski. "I live in the 
dorms because it's more convenient." 

Housing officers say they're aware 
off-campus housing is becoming more 
competitive with dormitory housing. 

"In our area, the landlords are very 
competitive," says ACUHO's Jahr. "They're 
offering the first month's rent free and 
adding amenities. We're discovering 
we're not a market unto ourselves." 

"We're marketing a product," he adds. 
"We're becoming more aware of what 
the consumers want."

1st in the south 



Millsaps men's tennis 
ranked 17th nationally 



Millsaps Sports Release 

Millsaps College 
men's tennis team 
is ranked first in the 
south region and 17th 
in the nation according 
to the nost recent 
NCAA Division III 
poll. 

The intercollegiate 
coaches pell also places 
Millsaps' Rod Cook 
of Sh^eveport, Louisiana 
as the #2 singles player 
in the south. He is 
28th in the nation. 
Bill Briggs of Moss 
Point and Kirk Patrick 
of Bator. Rjuge, Louisi- 
ana, have been ranked 
as the top doubles 
team in the south 
and 24th nationally. 

Under the direction 
of Coach James Mont- 
gomery, NCAA Division 
III Coach of the Year, 
the Millsaps men's 
tennis team has compiled 
a l'i-7 winning record 
thus far this season. 
Most recent wins over 
Centre College (9 
to 0) and Rhodes College 
(9 to 0) have boosted 
several individuals' 
chances for an invitation 
to the NCAA post 
season tournament, 
Montgomery said. 



"I feel sure that 
it will turn out thatr* 
our top key players 
will get a bid," 
Montgomery said. 

The Millsaps women's 
team is also posting 
an outstanding record 
for 1985 with 15 wins 
to only five losses. 
Their 1984 record 
was seven wins to, 
15 losses. 

"We've definitely 
had a turnaround that 
we can attribute to 
several factors," Mont- 
gomery said. "First 
thing last year we 
had some key people 
ill or injured who we 
had hoped to count 
on for leadership, 
plus we had a young 
team and, as usual, 
a horrendous schedule." 

This year, he said, 
the team also faces 
a tough schedule, 
but play has been 
bouyed by individual 
coaching, leadership 
from returning players 
and "real good play" 
from new members 
on the team. 

"All this just goes 
together to mold the 
team," Montgomery 
said.

Petty 's comeback album 
worth checking out 

by Reed Hubbard 

Tom Petty and the Heart breakers - Southern 
Accents *** 

Not much could be worse for a professional 
guitarist than breaking a hand. This is precisely 
what happened to Tom Petty last year. Reports 
came in that the singer/songwriter/guitarist 
for the Heartbreakers would never be able to 
play again, or that his playing would be extremely 
impaired forever. Despite all this, Petty proved 
these reports wrong by making a speedy recovery 
and immediately starting to work on a new album. 
This album, Southern Accents, was released 
last month and serves two functions: a testament 
to Patty's full recovery, and an excellent collection 
of new Petty songs. Tom Petty is definitely 
back. 

Petty has used this opportunity tc chart a 
new direction for his music. The compositions 
are resemblant of the music currently coming 
out of ti e Deep South. One hears slight references 
to R.E.M. and Jason & the Nashville Scorchers. 
The album starts off with the fun-to-listen-to 
"Rebels" and dives straight into "It Ain't Nothin' 
to Me." The first single from this album, "Don't 
Come Around Here No More," is receiving a 
vast amount of airplay, which it definitely de- 
serves. Side One is rounded Out with possibly 
the best song on the album, "Southern Accents." 
Side two is equally as impressive, including the 
cuts "Spike," "Dogs on the Run," and "The Best 
of Everything." 

This is definitely an album worth checking 
out. It is an outcry of a suppresfed musician 
who is finally being allowed to express himself. 
This is one to buy to celebra.te the end of the 
school year. 

Capsule Reviews - Andy Boone 

Joan Armatrading: Secret Secrets (A&M) More 
tough, shimmering pop songs in the tradition 
of Walk Under Ladders and The Key. Forget 
the old ballads, this stuff needs to be played 
loud. 

Eric Clapton: Behind the Sun (Duck/Warner) 
Ranges from wimpy love songs to fiery blues. 
Credit goes to Phil Collins for the crystal-clear 
production, plus the occasional backing vocals 
and percussion. 

Jason and the Scorchers: Lost and Found (EMI 
America) Count y punk at its white-hot best. 
Warner Hodges' lead guitar sounds not unlike 
George Thorogood at 45 r.p.m. 

Van Morrison: Sense of Wonder (PolyGram) 
An "Evening Meditation" from the King of Celtic 
Soul. Van covers r.iaterial by Ray Charles, Mose 
Allison and Willum Blake. The title track is 
so good it's scary. 

Velvet Underground: V.U. (Verve/PolyGram) 
Previously unreleased, one of a series of earlier 
Velvet albums that have been reissued recently 
on the Verve label (see also Velvet Underground 
and Nico). V.U. is an eclectic, erratic collection 
of songs recorded in the late sixties by Lou Reed, 
John Cale and , associates. It's music that was 
way ahead of its time, the kind of music that 
influenced later works by Bowie, the Cars, R.E.M. 
and countless others.

ence my ambitions for attendance at 
a highly academic school. Millsaps contin- 
ues to live up to such descriptions- and 
the members of the Millsaps community 
appreciate the committment- at least 
the students do. More and more it seems 
that the administration doesn't. 

In recent weeks, the campus has literally 
been invaded by various off-campus 
groups- choral festivals in the A.C., 
talent shows in the Christian Center 
and Baton Twirling competitions in the 
Gymnasium, and of course the infamous 
"Foundation" which was "top secret" 
to all except the administration, and 
the faculty, and the students, and the 
staff, and the lyrically immortalized 
grounds worker, Joe Lee Gibson. The 
faculty has noticed the disregard for 



the primary purpose of the college as 
well. One renowned faculty member 
remarked that it seemed that a new 
amusement park and convention center, 
"Disney South," had been created at 
Millsaps, 

Frankly, no one is frightened by the 
outside world, but students and faculty 
alike would appreciate some consideration 
from the "invaders" who do venture upon 
the Millsaps campus. And if none exists, 
most would choose not to allow it to 
continue. I know of three incidents where 
students received obscene gestures and 
phrases for simply crossing the crosswalks 
in front of the A.C. to eat dinner in 
the cafeteria (from which similiar gestures 
erupted from the students as well). I 
say more power to them. If the administra- 
tion's visitors aren't considerate to the 
students, then maybe a little more concen- 
trated effort by the students will alleviate 
the problem. 

The Millsaps Security sure wasn't there 
to support the students. They had been

CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS 
QUESTIONED 

To the Editor: 

During the weeks 
since the springtime's 
presence could be 
felt on campus, I have 
seen some peculiar 
activities occuring 



on campus. 

The activities started 
when all of the light 
poles on campus were 
painted an inconspicuous 
brown, making them 
look like tree trunks. 
Soon, all of the leaves 
left over from the 
fall were raked and 



hauled away. 

All of the grass, 
flowers, trees and 
plants and the mulching 
of each sure have 
made the campus 
more pleasing to look 
at. To any 
guest, the 



campus 
grounds 



would be enough to 



show what a grand 
institution this is. 
Also, the lawns seem 
to be so well groomed 
this spring. Everyday 
the ground keepers 
are either mowing 
the grass, edging the 
hell out of the sidewalks 
and blowing the debris

off of them or pruning 
the bushes. 

The Bowl has not 
been over-looked in 
the improvements 
this spring, either. 
It received lots of 
new concrete and 
brick retaining walls 
to hide the worn spots 
where the grass wouldn't 
grow. The sand that 
was put down during 
the winter ice storm 
on the sidewalk from 
the parking lot was 
shoveled up last week. 

New coats of paint 
have been applied 
to the benches and 
hand railings across 
campus and the air 
conditioner vents 
in the Union and 
Sullivan-Harrell. 

Lastly, the painting 
of the . curbs, cross 
walks, and lines in 
the parking lots are 
more of the unusual 
improvements. They 
sure can't be overlooked. 

With all of these 
"un-annual" improve- 
ments, I keep expecting 
the Queen of England 
to show up on campus. 
I hope we're told when 
she will be here so 
as not to miss her.

Campus anti-famine activities spread again 



by Susan Skorupa 

New York, NY (CPS)— 
Rock stars aren't the 
only people raising 
money to aid starving 
drought victims in 
Ethiopia and other 
African nations. 

Since November, 
when a NBC News 
film of starving children 
made the African 
famine a bigger issue 
here, student groups 
have raised thousands 
of dollars through 
relief funds like Oxfam, 
UNICEF, CARE, the 
Save the Children 
Federation and the 
American Red Cross, 
relief officials say. 

Some students, how- 
ever, apparently resent 
the methods charitable 
organizations are 
using to turn them 
into fund raisers. 

But whatever the 
tactics, "students 
raise millions of dollars 
each year for charities," 
says Steve Kinnaird, 
national coordinator 
for the New York 
City-based U.S. Commit- 
tee . for UNICEF's 
Campus Action Program. 

The cause, of course, 
isn't new. 

"UNICEF and the 
United Nations have 
been warning of mass 
disaster (in Africa) 
since 1981," Kinnaird 
points out. 

But now "there's 
lots of activity even 
in places where no 
program is in place 
yet," he reports. 

Last fall, over 100 
campuses joined a 
nationwide Oxfam 
fast "to call attention, 
to world hunger." 

The annual Oxfam 
event had never drawn 
more than 40 participat- 
ing campuses before, 
and the pace of activity 
has accelerated again 
this spring. 

University of West 
Florida faculty and 
students, for example, 
held a Third World 
Luncheon on April 
3, serving participants 
either a full dinner 
or a glass of water. 

The meal emphasized 
Third World starvation 



and unequal food distri- 
bution worldwide, 
explains Sandra Dickson, 
broadcast journalism 
professor and program 
coalition member. 

"We raised $750 
or more for the Oxfam 
and Bread for the 
World programs," 
she says. 

Mankato (Minnesota) 
State University students 
began last Sunday, 
April 28, a Famine 
Relief Week which 
will include a food 
and money drive. 

Committee members 
hope community organ- 
izations also will sponsor 
fundraising events 
that week. 

Sigma Tau Gamma 
fraternity at the Univer- 
sity of Missouri-St. 
Louis held a "We Are 
The World" .party and 
auction earlier this 
month, donating all 
auction proceeds and 
20 percent of the 
party door charge 
to U.S.A. for Africa. 

Students at Dart- 
mouth, Cal-Berkeley, 
Harvard, Virginia 
Polytech and the State 
University of New 
York-Albany, among 
other campuses, have 
staged or are planning 
fundraising events. 

Kinnaird's committee 
has set up "campus 
ambassador" programs 
at nearly 60 schools 
to organize student 
fundz-aising, and hopes 
to double the number 



by next year. 

Under the program, 
one student per campus 
orchestrates ^ benefits 
and cultivates student 
and faculty support. 

"This puts a student 
group officially on 
campus," Kinnaird 
explains. "The key 
is to reach out to 
campus organizations 
to broaden the base 
of support." 

University of Scranton 
(Pennsylvania) ambass- 
ador Nick Hanchak 
says he's "not doing 
a heck of a lot" this 
semester, but last 
fall he and a few organ- 
izers raised S2,000 
from a jog-a-thon. 

"On college campuses 
there's lots of energy, 
and you can raise 
a lot of money," he 
says. "Some ideas 
didn't go over too 
well, so I'm trying 
to get some solid pro- 
grams for next year." 

But some groups 
are more "grassroots" 
than Kinnaird's organiza- 
tions, and nearly as 
widespread. 

At SUNY-Albany, 
New York's Governor 
Mario Cuomo's daughter 
Madeline is spearheading 
Students Opposing 
Poverty. 

The organization, 
now on some 60 campus- 
es in New York, raised 
$8,000 recently when 
students gave up one 
meal. The campus

food service donated 
the cost of the meal 
to the group, which 
gave the money to 
UNICEF's CARE pro- 
gram. 

"UNICEF operates 
on a ten percent over- 
head budget," Kinnaird 
explains. "Of combined 
government and private 
donations, more than 
90 percent goes to 
programs." 

In 1983, government 
donations topped $50 
million, and private 
giving usually totals 
between $8 million 
and $18 million per 
year, he says. 

"Obviously it's a 

good cause, Scranton's 
Hanchak says. "The 
pictures of starving 
kids really get to you." 

But those same 
tactics anger some 
students. 

"It makes me angry 
that these organizations 



use pictures of dead 
and dying babies to 
make us donate to 
their causes," states 
Ben Bratman, editorial 
writer for the University 
of Washington's student 
newspaper. "I really 
feel these organizations 
are marketing them- 
selves as much as 
they are trying to 
save lives." 

"We haven't taken 
enough interest in 
our own back yard 
to force our government 
to react to our own 
starvation problem," 
he stresses. 

Bratman 
he means "no 
disregard or 
toward the 
of Africa and 



insists 
callous 
feeling 
people 
their 

plight. Especially 
the children. 

"But what I'd like 
to see is American's 
doing it just because 
it's right," he says.

Parents 9 Weekend plans in the making 



by David Setzer 



A committee of 
Millsaps faculty and 
students has been 
formed to plan a Parent's 
Weekend this fall. 
According to Bill Camp- 
bell, Director of the 
Millsaps Alumni Associa- 
tion, "It was felt by 
both faculty and the 
Alumni Association 
that we needed to 
expose the college 
to the parents." 

The Parent's Weekend 
Committee was not 
formed to plan the 
dates for the weekend, 
but rather to plan 
the activities for the 
weekend. "The dates 
for the weekend, Friday, 
September 27 through 
Sunday, September 
29, were chosen because 
that weekend is a 
natural division between 
the beginning of school 
and the Fall Break," 
said Campbell. He 
continued by saying 
that there was also 
a home football game 
that weekend. 

Millsaps' staff mem- 
bers of the committee 
are Campbell, Sue 
Whitt of the manage- 
ment department; 
Don Strickland of 
business affairs; Stuart 
Good and Nancy Moore 
of student affairs 
and Mary Nichols, 
secretary of the Alumni 
Association. Mrs. 
Arnold Bush, a parent, 
is also a member of 
the committee. Student 
members of the commit- 
tee are Alice Prichard, 
Catherine Scallan, 
David Setzer, Charlie 
Weatherall and Roslynn 
Webb. 

Campbell pointed 
out that the committee 
was considering a 
wide range of activities 
both on and off campus. 
Some events the 
committee will be 
discussing at their 
next meeting include 
a chance for parents 
to meet with department 
heads of their child's 
major area of study 
to learn of career 
opportunities. Also, 
the committee is 
working with the 
possibilities of allowing 



tne parents to attend 
classes on Friday morn- 
ing. 

Campbell said that 
the overall purpose 
of the weekend would 
be to "give the parents 
a chance to meet 
their child's friends 



and the friend's parents. 
We also hope to expose 
our faculty and facilities 
to the parents." 

The Parent's Weekend 
Committee meets 
today at 4:00 to decide 
on the final plans 
for the weekend. "The 



infornaiton will be 
sent out prior to the 
beginning of school, 
and a more detailed 
agenda will be available 
at the beginning of 
school this fall," said 
Campbell. 

Campbell concluded 



by saying "If students 
have any ideas, we 
will take them under 
consideration." The 
ideas can be sent to 
Bill Campbell at the 
Alumni Association 
or by calling extension 
-424.

Millsaps groups help hunger situation 



by Kelly Wilford 



Like many other college campuses 
across the nation, various groups at Mill- 
saps have pitched in to help combat 
the hunger problem that has frequently 
been in the news lately. 

The Campus Ministry Team decided 
to coordinate a project to provide students 
with an outlet to give to help the hunger 
problem if they wanted to. According 
to Andy Solomon, who chaired the task 
force, the project was a "great success" 
thanks to many groups all working to 
raise money a id also due to the campaign 
to get students on the meal plan to give 
up a meal. 

Solomon said that 70 percent of the 
students on the meal plan opted to give 
up their evening meal on April 16. Because 
of these students, $1,327.40 (retail value) 
of food will be given to Jackson's Stew 
Pot. The Stew Pot is supported by 25 



Jackson congregations and has daily 
feeding programs. They also support 
a pantry where needy people can get 
staples and canned goods for use at home. 
The food will be contributed by Mississippi 
Valley Food Service and will consist 
of dietary staples such as tomato soup, 
beans, corn, peas, sugar, salt, oatmeal, 
grits, etc. These staples will be delivered 
to the Stew Pot on Monday, May 6. 

Solomon said that there were many 
different groups that contributed to 
the cash fund, which will go to help fight 
the famine in Africa. The money raised 
will go to Church World Service, an ecum- 
enical group that coordinates relief serv- 
ices for South Africa and Ethiopia. Solomon 
noted that all of the Millsaps funds were 
designated to go to help Ethiopia. Those 
groups raised a total of $1,165.32 and 
they are Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa Alpha, 



Lambda Chi Alpha, Chi Omega, Phi Mu, 
Kappa Delta, Millsaps Christian Fellowship, 
Millsaps Asian Students Association 
and five Millsaps faculty members. 

The total amount of food and cash 
raised by the hunger task force was 
$2,492.72. Solomon emphasized that 
over half of the total collected (53. 25 
percent) would stay right here in Jackson 
and 46. 25 percent would go abroad. He 
also said he wanted to thank everybody 
*that got involved in the project. He added 
that the project "would never have worked 
without the help of Millsaps Chaplain 
Don Fortenberry and all his hard work 
and the cooperation of Olivia White 
and the Mississippi Valley Food Service."

forced to cope with disgruntled 
visitors that issued verbal assaults 
upon the officers and the school 
due to limited parking area, not

hired for: to protect the Millsaps 
students. 

Any student who has had Mickey 
Mouse Math can understand the 
financial records for the lease of 
school facilities, but when the benefits 
exceed the costs to the students, 
then they are no longer beneficial.
